点评:We planned our fishing trip out months in advance, I was always checking the fishing tips, the forecasts, things like that but that's not why I'm not happy. I hired a guide, I spoke with him 2 or 3 times about how's the fishing going, do you think we will have any luck, are you catching keepers, each time we talked he made it sound like we would easily bring in walleye that would surpass the legal length, he said we could catch some 6 - 8 pounders. So a couple of days before we leave I ask him about the fishing and he said they should be pop in. Let's just say disappointed is not a strong enough word. Go into Merritt Reservoir Trading Place, immediately upon walking into the door, look to your left you will see a couple of post it boards with pictures of the fish that were caught. Typically those are recently caught fish, almost every picture on those two boards were from 2020. While out with out guide I asked him about that and he said they had a big fish kill in the lake in 2023. Don't you think he should have said that about the first time I called him? We caught maybe 6 walleye fingerlings, a couple of 17' walleye, but nothing worth $400 for a guide, the cost of the trip from Omaha, gas, rental car. I'm just extremely disappointed that we didn't find out about the fish kill until after we were there.
翻译:我们提前几个月计划了我们的钓鱼之旅,我总是查看钓鱼技巧、天气预报等东西,但这不是我不开心的原因。我雇了一个向导,我和他谈了两三次钓鱼的进展,你觉得我们会有运气吗,你能钓到值得保存的鱼吗,每次我们谈话时,他都说我们很容易就能钓到超过法定长度的角膜白斑鱼,他说我们可以钓到一些 6 到 8 磅的鱼。所以在我们离开前几天,我问他钓鱼的情况,他说应该会钓到鱼。只能说失望这个词还不够强烈。走进梅里特水库交易市场,一进门,向左看,你会看到几个贴有我们钓到的鱼的照片的板子。通常那些都是最近捕到的鱼,那两块板上几乎所有的照片都是2020年的。有一次我和导游一起出去,问了他这件事,他说2023年湖里发生了一起大规模鱼类死亡事件。你不觉得他应该在我第一次打电话给他的时候就这么说吗?我们大概捕到了6条梭子鱼鱼苗,几条17英尺长的梭子鱼,但根本不值400美元,这笔钱包括导游费、从奥马哈到那里的路费、汽油费和租车费。我非常失望,我们直到到达那里后才知道有鱼死亡的消息。
