I've actually watched trout fight over the bait. Fun for the kids to use bobbers with crickets. They can watch the fish grab the swimming cricket

Not much fishing in the area, so not many shops with much of anything.



If this had been last week, I could have gone out and caught at least 20-30 crickets, but we got a ton of rain the other day that ran through the area where there are lots of crickets that would have been relatively easy to catch and washed most of them away. Next time I may go out ahead of time and catch a bunch. I just put them in a jar tall and narrow enough that they couldn't jump out of. It was definitely a pain to get them out of the jar though. Maybe I could get a cricket cage from Bezos.
