Walker Johnson Park

I’ve started using google maps to find places to fish in Des Moines. That led me to discover this fishin hole that is actually rather close to my home, right behind the Walker Johnson Park Softball Fields.  The fishing here wasn’t very good. But could be in a few years if it doesn’t completely freeze. The pond itself is barely an acre and surrounded in thick vegetation. Which makes it pretty hard to run a crank bait when theres 6 ft of lily pads and other crap on the water. There were a TON of frogs here. If you wanted to catch some frogs I would send you here. Also a good place to grab some bait before going out catfishing. You could probably get 20 of the fish I caught in about 20 minutes. They were so small to land them I didn’t actually hook them, I just let them close their mouth on my hook and as I pulled them out of the water I pulled them over the shore, so they would go flying off my hook and onto the grass.
