Brad, sounds like you had a great time fishing on your pond. You're right about those subtle takes. Got to wonder how many times fish take and spit out our flies with us being none the wiser. I spent the majority of my life in CO and fished for trout most of the time with occassional warm water fishing for bass and panfish. Been in the Topeka area for the last 10 yrs so now its pretty much fishing warm water lakes. One thing that suprised me was the number of channel cats and a few other species you can catch on flies. Sometimes they'll hit a fly aggressively but other times its just a real subtle take. Does'nt take long to know you hooked something bigger than a panfish once you set the hook, though. Glad you had a great day!
