I didn't get out to fish until mid-afternoon.
Found some Grass Carp in a corner of the pond, in the shallows...like in 18"-24" of water. They had the mud stirred up, so they were nearly impossible to spot. Occasionally there would be a big swirl, and on very rare occasions, a fin or back. I was still forced to blind cast instead of casting to targets. I very briefly foul-hooked 3 grass carp, but didn't have any strikes. I eventually gave up and moved on.
I caught 4 nice Pumpkinseed Sunfish on a chartreuse microjig. I caught 1 small bass on a blockhead popper, one one on a black mohair leech, one on a chartreuse microjig. I lost one crappie, but landed the second one. Bluegills were hitting a wide variety of flies, including suspended flies, floating flies, and swimming flies.
I flyfished during lunch today (Monday, April 17). Caught bluegills and crappies. The fish weren't particularly aggressive.
I did have a Garter Snake slither along the shoreline right in front of me:
