Guest Post: This was an old, now abandoned campground. I had discovered it a few years ago and brought Mason there today after his baseball game. It has overgrown openings where sites used to be, a boarded up camp office, lots of No Parking and No Swimming signs and a mossy, weedy camp road (that now looks more like a trail) with speedbumps.
Most interestingly it has a pond, which at one time used to be dammed – but is now just sitting there, leaking water through a concrete opening below. I had my rod with me and Mason and I hopped over the leak and I stood on a tilted concrete block and cast. I thought there might be some bass in there. I quickly confirmed there are wild fish in this pond.
I immediately got a bite from a small, hand-sized rainbow. After about 15 minutes I had three on but they would leap out of the water and shake the hook out of their small mouths. We managed to land one and Mason scooped 
it with the net and held it to the camera.
Mason said, “We get it!” after seeing the third No Swimming sign. He noticed carvings on the old camp building and asked me if they were Coast Salish. I said I didn’t know.
No one was around, but there is development nearby and I could see old houses through glimpses in the trees.
