  • Pond Bass Fly Fishing

    Yesterday evening the weather was so perfect, I had to drop by a small pond to see if I could catch anything on the fly rod. I tied on a small foam cylinder popper I had made last year. Perfect conditions. No wind. Comfortable temperature.

    Had small bluegills pecking at the popper with no hookups. Also had some bluegills pulling the popper down by the tail or rubber legs.

    Eventually a bass came up under the fly and quietly slurped it down. No big blow-up. The popper was there one second and the next it had been swallowed down from below.

    An old fishing buddy of mine used to say this very calmly when a LM bass took his flyrod popper: "Bass don't miss." Then he'd grin as he pulled the fish in.

    He was right. When a LM eyes up a flyrod popper, it means business. Sometimes there's a big splash. Sometimes there's merely a slurp. But the result is the same.

    Nice catch, Tom.
