HAD THE CHANCE TO GO POND FISHING THE OTHER MORNING. WE CAUGHT MAYBE 20+ BASS AND ABOUT 15 BREAM. MOST OF THE BASS WERE ABOUT 1 LB BUT BONECRACKER DID MANAGE A 5 AND 10 LBer (WHICH MADE FOR A LONG RIDE HOME.) I KEPT TELLING HIM A 1 LB BASS ON A 4 WT FLY ROD WAS MUCH MORE FUN. I KEEP TRYING TO CATCH SOME OF THE SPECKS IN THIS POND TO NO AVAIL, BUT I HAVE SEEN SOME BREAK WATER (THEY BIG). I HAVE TRIED JIGS, SMALL RAPALAS, AND MY ALL TIME BEST FLY ( BLACK SINKING BUG WITH WHITE LEGS) WITH NO LUCK.

ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR SPECK FLIES.

MY FLY TYING ABILITIES AINT THAT GREAT BUT I AM WORKING ON A PROTO TYPE OF A SMALL MINNOW TO CATCH SPECKS.

nice job Crocker! Let's see some pictures of 'em!

ALL RELEASED.

I've only caught a few specks on the fly - a jansens minnow and a puglisi pinfish (small 2" version): Anything that looks like a minnow. Also, you may want to invest in a sink tip line - I caught the specks deep, but this was Lake Hall which goes down to 35', so if the waters you fish are shallow, you may not need the sink tip.

Beetle spins possibly...or small mepps spinner with fox tail or equivalent..
throw out, count down, reel in a little, repeat....oughta get one

Which pond ?

No ideer on the fly though......
