I am a little late in getting to the bass ponds this year. I like to get up there before the grass is brown but the bass seem to bite better in hot weather so later does have advantages. I biked in this time. No trophies but there were a bunch of fish enjoying the plentiful water. I think someone got in there last year and hauled out all the trophies. Kind of a bummer but such is life on public land. I did catch a whole bunch of trophy smallmouth in Canada a couple of weeks ago so I am okay. No pictures of those so you will have to trust me.

This is how a pond should look - not all burned up by a wildfire and not a mud hole from a drought.

Pond bass love the dragonflies.

Take care of the fish and leave the trophies in the pond.

Not a trophy but I am happy.

I used to fish these with a two weight but I broke it last year.
