Pond bass

[FlySwatter]

On Wednesday evening and Thursday morning my Dad, uncle & I stayed at my uncle's cabin in Sullivan Co. and we fished the pond behind the cabin. I caught about 15 bass, 10 over 4 pounds, on the fly rod. The hot fly was a #2 black Stumpbuster (the pond was loaded with newts, the main forage). I caught most on my 6 WT.

I also caught one over 4 pounds on my son's brookie rod (7.5 foot 4 WT, 4x tippet). I was coming back form a hike up the pond inlet (looking for beaver dams and trout) when I spotted the big bass sunning in the shallows of the pond...I couldn't resist! It was pretty ridiculous fighting a fish like that on such a small rod.

I am officially spoiled! :-D

It was great to see my 78 year odl dad catch a few, too. He used to be a serious fisherman but only fished once a year with me now.

How about posting the GPS coordinates. lol

You don't need GPS coordinates. It's easy to find. Just go to that small town with the general store, turn right onto the dirt road, left at the cabins then left again when you see a bear scratching a pine tree.

I'll see you there! int:

I didn't see the bear.
