Central Iowa - Early December 2019

[FishnDave]

Nice weekend, right?

Despite it being nice on Saturday, the local ponds remained iced over.  By almost dark, there were a few small openings, probably made by waterfowl.  Fortunately, the temperatures remained above freezing overnight, and so the ponds opened up at some point and were fishable on Sunday.

 

I picked a pond and fished it in the afternoon.  Very fun!  I caught 50+ crappies, 2 bluegills, and 2 bass.

Most of the fish were caught on a flyrod float-n-fly (microjig and indicator).

 

 

I also caught a bass and some crappies on a Micro GameChanger, which was pretty awesome.

 

 

 

 

Great outing to end the open-water season!
