Hit the pond w/ Ed last night , met up w/ Scott V. ......
Pretty darn slow !! I bounced one dink on my Woolhead Sunfish , then nothing 'till feeding time started . Long around dusk , we picked-up a few .... but nothing like what it should have been .
I wound up with 7 to hand in the last hour of light , most on a small Dahlberg . Strange , they wanted the fly while swimming sub-surface slowly - Very few surface takes (Ed noticed the same kind of takes on the far side of the pond) . Managed a few on a lumo Bett's popper , and had slashing non-grabs on a Gurgler and a Deerhair slider .
I fished side by side with Scott (nice dude , BTW .....) - he used gear and left his fly rig in the truck . He seemed impressed (disturbed ???) at just how effectivly a flyrod can be used to make fixed-length casts w/ pinpoint accuracy to the weed edges :evil: :evil: :evil:
I landed nothing over 13 inches , Ed had one at around 2 lbs. .
That's it !!
