Nice bass dude. Must be cool to have a pond so close! Looks totally fishy.

Are there any other species in there too? Is it your pond or just some ol irrigation ditch or a lake?

It is one of three ponds with fish on our property. There are LMB, Bluegill, Green Sunfish, and Catfish in the front pond and the back pond. There are Green Sunfish and Bluegill in the side pond. I catch all of them on flies most of the time but this morning I used about half of a cheap plastic Yum worm rigged with a brass cone in front and a strike indicator about 2 feet up to help see the light takes. The Bass are in the shallows in the morning and evening and move out to deeper water in the heat of the day (about 85 today).

That's awesome! Must be great to be able to jump out and flick a fly so close to home. I bet the fishing is great being that your ponds aren't likely pressured at all. Keep up the good work man! You have some healthy and clean looking fish there. Maybe a small stocking of 6" trout is order to get the DD's going :LOL:

Yeah, that would be really nice. When I was younger, my grandma had 3 little ponds in her back yard filled with big gold fish, sun fish, and koi. I would fish out there all day long. Mind you these ponds were only about 4x15...
