    Pat and I hit our favorite pond today. After three Windy warm days the wind gave up some but changed to out of the north eastern direction.  Not a good fishing direction IMO but we went anyway. Walking the bank we fancasted covering water from each spot we tried leapfrogging each other. While we each caught lots of fish Pat caught way more and with the biggest bass. I caught the two biggest crappie and bluegill. We both used the same basic fly. The rust colored Grinch bug. We wore hip boots and walked out a few feet to knee deep. This let us cast to the drop offs on the pond although we caught fish from a foot deep to six feet. We kept five bass and two crappie. The two smaller bass and crappie were sprinkled with Old Bay and sauteed in butter. Reminded me of boiled butter shrimp. Pat's biggest bass we did not weigh but I'm thinking 3.5 to 4 pounds. Nothing as pretty to me than a hip boosted gal working a fly rod.
