Ky farm pond fishing
I have enjoyed some great fishing the past two evenings. One was a farm pond that is clear water with lots of weeds. {coontail, I think}. I had a blast catching 1.5 lb bass and small to med gills. Caught some on gills on a dry fly but most of the bass and gills on "gurgle pop". This pond has a good bass population but only average gills.
This evening I fished a very fertile farm pond (dark stained water) with an excellant gill population 9 and 10 inch fish. Overpopulated with small 10 and 11 inch bass. Tried different flys such as "gurgle pop",
popper/dropper and wooly bugger. Must have caught and 20 bass and 5 big gills. The gills were in "bedding" areas. I have noticed that the ponds that I have been fishing (in July) with big gills (9" or better), you can only catch a couple of fish and they get spooked. Here iin KY gills have been bedding since early May. Has anyone else noticed this? (Big gills getting spooked late in the season)
Hope you like the pictures from fertile lake.
