Big Farm Pond Gills

[HighPlainsFlyFisher]

This weekend found me at home here in KC instead of on a trout stream somewhere like I'd prefer but I made the most of it and did a little warm water fishing close by. Saturday evening I found myself on a pond that was just full of big gills and some decent crappie. I'm sure some of you have spots just like it but myself I've never caught so many big bluegill in my life. There wasn't a fish in the bunch that I didn't want to fillet, roll in cracker crumbs and deep fry (of course it was C&R only so I couldn't). Probably the most fun I've had on a fly rod for a good long time , if you've got a good pond nows the time to go hit it!

Great looking gills. Have a few locations like that myself. love it when they get on beds this time of year...fish after fish after fish. The big gills are an absolute blast on a fly rod.

Wow, what a great trip! Very rare indeed to find such a nice piece of water!

I almost hate to go back for fear that I'll be dissapointed , I probably just got lucky and hit it on a good night. If the weather is decent this weekend I'm going to have to drive back out there one evening after work...I just gotta know if it was a fluke. I think the old guy that owns the place kind of enjoys seeing people catch nice fish out of his pond anyway..he just kind of got a big smile on his face when he was talking about the fishing. I guess I'll have to do what I can to make his day!!......Jeff

Jeff, I have to say that I'm more than a little bit jealous! If you caught good fish like that, I promise it's not a fluke - but you should go back just to make sure!
