Fly Fishing on Ponds for Bass

Don’t overlook your local farm ponds. These ponds were likely stocked at some point in time, either officially or unofficially. Eric took this very nice Largemouth Bass on a #6 Damsel Popper around the fourth of July.
Use a cautious approach as you walk up to the banks and take a few minutes to watch the water. A few minutes of observation can provide volumes of education about the pond and its residents. Early morning and late evening will be most productive since the bass tend to dislike UV light.
