[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 190185, member: 412"] We used to tie fishing lines w/bare hooks to the train bridge on Hay Creek just S of '94. At the beginning of summer we'd ride our bikes to K-mart and buy a biggish spool of cheap curly-Q blue-clear mono that needed about 3/4oz to straighten out. We'd bait them with backyard worms and catch bullheads. I'd take the dog along because there were a few pheasants around and it'd keep him tuned up in the off-season. In the winter, we used to sled down the big hill to the west of the train bridge. We should've all been torn to shreds by the barbed-wire fence we'd sled near but I don't think we ever got a scratch, dumb luck I guess. It was a horse-pasture on the edge of town in the mid-80's when we spent a lot of time there. Now it's backyards and walking paths. No more 1/2mi long sledding run but there's still a few pheasants (or was 10yrs ago when my dad would walk his dog there) and I suspect there's still bullheads to be caught in the creek. Apologies, the mere mention of Hay Creek had me in nostalgia mode for a few minutes. I have 0 to say or think about the OP's issue. [/QUOTE]
