Fished Runyon & Fountain lakes yesterday. Fished from 4:30 to 7:30 started out on Runyon lake got a couple of bites right outta the gate but being my first time out this year I was a little rusty.  Tried to get out to my favorite point but a couple of angry geese did not want to give up thier what is apparently their favorite spot to.  After a short foot chase me being the pursuee (sp) I decided to give Fountain a try.  The chase must have knocked the rust off beacause within an hour I caught a few bluegill A nice largemouth 12-14" and a 14.5" crappie.  My brother caught two nice largemouth about the same size on a buzzbait and missed three more.  Overall a great day fishin... FINALLY!

Nice report,

Yeah, its better to have fast feet rather than going toe to toe with a mad bad goose.

Welcome

That is one very fine crappie!

Don't worry about the geese, they will mellow out after their eggs hatch.

Welcome to the forum. I think this may be a forum first -- a new member successfully posts a picture in their very first post!

Fountain lake is about 30 yards east of Runyon.

How do you get into Runyon and Fountain lakes? I've seen them but never knew where the access was.

 

[cwh76]

From I-25 take the Santa Fe exit. Head south on Santa Fe ave. Take a left on Locust st ( only road to turn on before you reach the Arkansas) Follow Locust to the fork in the road and go right. If you are familiar with Runyon Field Locust would be the road south of the complex. Hope this helps if not use mapquest or google earth to locate the fields.
