Today is overcast, 59degrees F, and fairly calm. Pretty nice weather, really. It is supposed to get sunny in the afternoon and warm up. You get what you get when you fish during lunchtime...there's no waiting for the weather to change.
As long as it isn't too windy or below freezing, I'm ok with most any kind of weather for fly-fishing.
Caught mostly Bluegills. A few had excellent colors, including this first picture, in which the sunfish's breast was such a deep, bright orange...I don't think the photo does it justice.
This was a good-looking fish as well:
I also caught a few Green Sunfish. This monster measured 8.5"!!!!
I had hoped to get a glimpse of grass carp or catfish, but didn't see any. I DID see quite a few tadpoles gulping air periodically at the surface out towards the middle of the pond, and I saw a decent number of large bullfrogs. This is all indicative of a POOR bass population at the pond.
As I was walking around the pond to leave, I spotted this Painted Turtle rooting around in the water right next to shore. I took his picture, and he remained oblivious to my presence.
