Stu, looks like I'll fit right in. I've got all the qualifications.  I've tried some of the advice received.  Went sub surface with a # 14 black spider yesterday.  Walked around the pond casting where I had room.  Caught approximately 6 +/- bass and a few bluegill.  All dinks, but had a good time out.  That counts for a lot.  Another flyrodder there caught an approximate 1 lb. bass and some dinks.  This is a stocked conservation area pond that I fish because its close to home.  Not noted for large fish.  I think I may have to try the Fox River for smallmouth.

Fishing Reports / Needed to unwind...

After a long day configuring a new network and sore/raw fingers from network cables for a customer.  I took advantage of a few minutes to unwind.  Couldn't think of any other way to do that than with this.  Fun with the 3wt.



This guy was a beauty.



Say Ahhhh!!!

Fishing Reports / Fising today 5/17
« Last post by Rick Zieger on May 17, 2013, 03:23:06 PM »
Went out to a pond today.  Bluegills went nuts over boa yarn flies.
I came home with 76 of them.  Tossed many small ones and several bass back in.
Fished less than 10% of the shore line.

Fish tacos tonight for dinner.

That's great and I don't want to be a downer, but if he's wading that deep in a flow you might want to get him a tight wading belt.

Agreed. I actually took my wading belt off and tried to put it on him but it kind of doubled over and I couldnt get it to work.

That first picture is our entry spot and it was about that deep. I held onto the back of his waders as we went through. Everything past that was about knee high for him.


THANKS ALL for the kind words! I hit up a new spot the other day that was just TEAMING with smallies and as I was fishing I was looking for a way to get my son back there safely. I usually like to fish and wade in areas that you need to work and sweat to get to...
Steady and slow. This kids a keeper!

Making a guess that your waters are still pretty cold it might be they want things sub surface and slow.  Maybe a float and fly rig?

Fly Tying / Re: I'm mad as hell...
« Last post by Jeff Roberts on May 17, 2013, 11:55:20 AM »
I feel more flies are destroyed trying to remove them from fish than by the fish. Also the fish sustain more damage if you use barbs and plan on releasing the fish.  Barbless makes it easier to remove flies and saves wear and tear on them when trying to remove fly from fish. Small as a bream mouth is barbless is the only way to go for me.
