WEED EDGES

I knew that it was going to be a hot day so I started out early. It was already humid and I knew there would be a race to see which got close to a 100 first. It was time to hit the pond early and have everything done before the heat hit hard.

We had an inch or rain yesterday and I had thought I might be able to drive into a pond, but he rain fried that idea. Hiking in I found three places where water was standing, with a few inches of very soft, slick mud under it. When I got to the pond I saw that the water was lower than I expected. When I looked at the drain pipe I found that it had collapsed. The water had cut down about a foot and a half below where the hole is and that means that means the water was lower.

Rick,

Really great to hear the PJ added to your time on the water.

A great deal of fun to watch fish take that fly.
Thanks for sharing it.

Nice outing, Rick! Fishing’s gotten tough around here in the past week for some reason. Fish are deeper than I prefer to fish, I think. :slight_smile:
The description of this pond sounds familiar to me. Is it Pond #1?

Yes. On the east side where all the small trees are.
