Pond X

Got out this past Wednesday with Greg at Pond X.  This is the same pond we fish that is located in a neighboring county.  I managed to land 15 largemouth and one bluegill.  At some point, I have got to figure out how to fish this thing with the fly rod.  I have done it before but man is it hard.  There is usually so much underbrush and growth around the pond that it becomes impossible to swing a fly.  The few times I have fished it with the fly rod, I have almost always spent more time untangling my line from the trees and bushes than I have spent with the line in the water.  The fish though are always hungry and some can be rather large.  Very few people fish this pond.  It is on private land and it requires a hike to get back to it.  Given its location, there are a ton of ticks and chiggers in the area as well.  I picked off five on Wednesday.  I hate ticks but the fishing is so good that I keep coming back.  It is like crack.  I wish when I was there that I had more time to fish it as I would love to get my float tube out and use it at the pond.  Then I could use a fly rod and crush the bass!  Here are the fish porn photos:

  1. Do you use a tick twister to get them off?

    1. RR no I dont. I had never heard of that. I had to look it up. I use tweezers or fire to get them off.

    1. Bill,

      I love catching the bass on the fly rod. I hate using a spinning rod but sometimes I have to given where I am fishing. Well, this is really the only place I use the spinning rod now. All I have to do is figure out how to fish it with the fly rod. Thanks for reading.
