My wife & I arrived mid afternoon to very windy conditions. Couldn’t fish the big lake in the boat, so we fished the pond (Bill, thanks for last weekend’s report). Caught several 1# - 2# on Senkos. The bluegill kept my wife busy practicing with the flyrod. Met the landowner & wife when he came to feed the fish.
Early evening we walked the bank of the big lake. Lots of vegetation - no fish.
Sunday morning the wind was still relentless, so we opted for the pond again. Not a bad choice since we couldn’t keep count of # caught! Started the morning with poppers - conventional & flyrod. Largest today was 2 1/2# bass.
Great time on a small pond.
Sidebar: met the owner of China Grove on our way out. He mentioned a group this weekend caught & ate 380 bluegill from his lake!
