I once took my father in law to fish a farm here and used a sixe 28 on 2.2 ib tippet to catch 12lb salmon......darn thing jumped out of the water and onto the bank after the first run of 3 metres!!!! I accidentally kicked it back in on purpose. Not even the lightest tippet and tiniest hooks could prevent me from catching it........expensive day!!

Korea. We paid about $10 to catch and release and $20 to catch and keep (at first NO limits but some greedy ass caught and kept over 60 trout in one day and the owner at first BARRED all Americans but our American/Korean Fly Fishing Club spoke with him and he just barred the idiot BUT set a five fish limit) The best part of pond fishing is it had no obstructions and being able to practice your casting, try different techniques and also to try out your experimental flies. What you can do if you are a sneaky sort is tie on a "hook less" fly and go out there and practice. Also it is a great place for youngster to feel the thrill of catching and fighting a trout. I personally like trout fishing over bass fishing. deserttrout6/jim On 5/3/07, Jimmy D.

Sounds like the guy has set up a "put and take" pond, knowing full well that those trout not caught will die shortly.
