Wow! What a weekend! Wendy and I got to hit a farm pond that is by far our favorite pond to fish together and this was a rare instance where everything aligned perfectly. The weather was great and the fish were hungry. We've always caught bass there that average between 14-17 inches and between 1-2 pounds and they were biting as usual. However, what surprised us were the HUGE bluegill that were biting. I had never fished for bluegill here before so when I caught the first one on a mouse fly, I decided to target them a little more. What was also noteworthy was the fact that I don't think we caught a bluegill under 8 inches with many of them being 9 inches long and close to 3/4 of a pound. These suckers were hitting woolies, mice, zonkers, and small jigs. It seemed like if you put the fly in the right place, you were going to get bit and you could almost call your shots. The bass were fun too and we caught them on the same flies. We threw the mice on 8 weights, the zonkers on 6 weights, and even got into a few with a wooly on a 4 weight! We appreciated every moment because, as I mentioned earlier, it was the perfect combination of (no) wind, perfect temperatures, and aggressive fish!
