Slow morning @ the pond

Overcast skies when I arrived , partly to mostly cloudy when I left . Humid !
The pond has been disappointing lately .
Only caught two gills , both on top with foam bugs . One LM on a size 12 beadhead woolybooger .
The LM was fun on the 3wt flyrod .
I took two 6’7” 3wt flyrods , supposed to be identical except for color . These are fast glass rods And they seem to load better with a heavier WF line . The blue one had a 5wt line , the white one , a 6wt .
I actually couldn’t tell the difference in their casting . Both would roll cast 50’ .

You got out and you caught fish, that makes for a good day!

Sure beats a fast day at work

Well, at least it looks like the algae is not bothering you now. Good pics.

I just fish the side of the pond on the side the wind blows to the other side.
I also switched to fishing in the morning before the algae starts floating to the top. :)

Nice! I’m surprised you had to up the line weight that much, but whatever works!

Bob , that’s one thing about fiberglass rods . They’ll tolerate a wide range of line weights .
I don’t need to make long casts , so a heavier line weight loads the rod for easier short casts .
With limited room behind me at most places at the pond shorter casts and roll casts are the norm .

Very nice

I call that a good trip. Nothing broken, fish caught, no fish to clean. All good. And I’m not sure I can still do a roll cast.
