Spent some time today doing some late season pond fishing for largemouth bass and bluegill. The last couple of times I have been, I have cheated. I hate to admit it. I have been using a small 5 foot spinning rod and light line. It has been the first time in 10 years I have done any spin fishing. I feel like a cheater. In fact I wont even post the fish I catch on the spinning rod here on the blog. I have only been spin fishing because the fish are holding along the bottom and I do not have a sinking tip line so I cant get down deep enough to find the fish. That coupled with the fact that the pond my friend Greg and I have been fishing at is ringed with trees which makes casting a fly rod interesting to say the least. I managed to land 6 gills today on my orange cone head woolly bugger with the legs. I probably lost a good 20-25 fish. The strikes were slow and I just kept missing them. It was nice though to get out and do some fishing on a very beautiful fall day.
