We have several pond excavations in this area, the results of road building and such, and are now great fishing holes for bream and bass. Yesterday I got out the 5wt and some emerger flies I had been tying over the winter months and visited one a short distance from where we live. The big bream ... I mean those BIG bream, were really hitting like nobody's business! A couple of them almost jerked that fly rod right out of my hand!

Nothing going on surface wise with a popper, all the fish caught were below. Those good sized bream (and bluegill) are such fun to catch with a fly rod. And with the fly patterns I tied yet!

And we are going to have a fish fry over this way tomorow afternoon!
