    Default the lost pond


    I found it , one of those "lost" ponds , them ones that are really old and been there for eons ....
    in woods at a spot I have been hunting at one time last year , told myself I might return with a rod someday and so it was ...
    a beautiful setting and out went my float and jig .....
    had it set about 12 inches deep and it laid up first cast to the middle on the lost pond ?
    I thought to myself no way , less than a foot deep in the middle ?
    got a tiny peck as I reeled in back in and thought well there is at least one fish in here.
    set the float shorter and casted again and ketched what might have been the smallest green sunfish I ever saw ......
    casted to and fro and ketched another tiny one .....
    finally ketched a couple of mama and papa fish and left there going oh well ..............
    a really shallow old pond full of lil greenies beats nada by a frog hair ....right ....
    KABOOM
    p.s. I sparred yawl having to see them micro 2.5 inch percheez ....just saying

    I would have been happy with those .
    Beats what I caught yesterday in a 350 acre reservoir with 25’ water in some places .
    Just saying. Kaboom

    Kaboom it was. Better a few than none. Next pond will be better.

    i can relate. To lost ponds. And a lost generation.

    20 +/- Years ago fished a few time in a stock pond. All small fish, Bass too.
    Was a Coyote hunting spot. Ducks would black out the sky. Doves flew over constantly.

    Depression Era Kid. No Dad, Just a Mom. His inherited land was poor.

    He has been deceased for some years now. I gained an understanding about life from him, with few words spoken.

    Made a photo essay of how he lived at the time.

    Lost ponds, Lost people, lost generations.

    apologies, just brought back memories.

    I know of about five ponds that probably haven't been fished in the last 10 years. I may have to try them out this spring.
