My new bass pond

[Adam Grace]

Here are some picture of my new warm water fishery.





It only takes me five minutes to walk to this long pond from my new house in Chico. I have been told that this pond is home to large, 10lb, Florida strain largemouth bass. I have also found out for myself that there are also nice fat bluegills swimming in there as well.

Below is a picture of one I caught over this past weekend on a micro popper.



I am looking forward to the warmer months and float tubing this pond with my friends.

Hey Adam,.... Is that a saltwater reel I see attached to your fly rod

Let's see, fat Bluegill and 10 lb+ Bass..... Still wanna tie small trout flies for the upcoming trout season :P :P :P

My reel is a Ross Canyon #2, not for saltwater. My 4wt Scott G-Series rod is a little too small for a standard saltwater reel.

As far as tying flies, I have started to think about tying more bass bugs and bluegill poppers. But I will still be tying small trout flies for the Yuba River.
