Surprise Wiper at Garden City Community Fishery 🎣 | Outdoors with Andrew 🎣 Surprise Wiper at Garden City Community Fishery It felt great to finally get back out fishing after my accident — and this trip brought a big surprise! I stopped by the Garden City Community Fishery , which is usually stocked with Trout throughout the year and gets a small number of Wiper (under 500) during the summer. Catching one in October was definitely unexpected. For this trip, I was using my Dock Runner setup with a silver Kastmaster , and it didn’t take long before I was into some action. Along with the Wiper, I also managed to land a few nice Rainbow Trout . Garden City’s pond is a great little community fishery for all ages, offering easy access and plenty of opportunity for a quick bite — especially if you’re looking to get out and fish close to town. 🎥 Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/WbwcIsKTOIs 🎣 Tackle I Use: Sakana Baits SI Flies (Simcoe Bugs)

Rainbow Trout Fishing at Wellsville Dam, Utah Wellsville Dam is one of Utah’s best community fisheries — a beautiful, easy-to-access spot that’s stocked heavily with Rainbow Trout throughout the season. It’s a great place for families and anglers of all skill levels to enjoy a relaxing day of fishing. Occasionally, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources adds Broodstock Rainbow Trout over 18 inches long, offering a chance at some truly trophy-sized fish! I usually practice catch and release on the bigger trout so local kids and new anglers have a shot at catching their own “big one.” As a community fishery, the daily limit is two fish per person , and the state strongly encourages releasing any Largemouth Bass to help maintain the population. 🎣 Watch My Wellsville Dam Fishing Videos: Wellsville Dam Trout Fishing Adventure Catch and Release Trout at Wellsville Dam Community Pond Rainbow Trout Action Trout Fishing at Wellsville Dam, Utah About Wellsville Dam Lo...
