Today I got a treat, I got to go fishing for a short while. I have not been fishing for about eight months. My wife Dot had a doctor's appointment that I knew would be a long wait. I put my fly rod in the car and we left. The doctor has a pond right next to the parking lot at his office. I have fished there before when Dot has to go in to see him. It was overcast so I rigged up with a Sparkle Olive Dumbbell eye Bugger. Made the first case and just stripped about two strips and Fish On. It was a small Bass. The pond was thick with moss along the bank. so landing the fish was a mess. It came in with a big load of moss on it. I made a few more casts and decided the fly was too heavy with all that moss so I switched over to a sz 14 Chili Pepper. Caught another bass and then another. I broke off trying to land the next bass in the moss. Tied on another Chili Pepper and the same thing. Got a couple of bass and again lost it landing a bass in the moss. I was down to one Chili Pepper. Lo and behold If I did not do the same thing and lost that one. I then tied on an Olive Bugger with a red bead head. The first cast produced a Bass a few casts later another Bass. then I managed to hook a tree behind me and broke off. Now that was four flies lost. I then tied on a Purple Marabou Bugger and on the first cast I had a fish on. A few more casts and short strikes I had another bass landed, again loaded with moss. I hooked up again and the Bass got into the moss after a couple of nice jumps and I broke that one off. Total five flies lost. I fished just over an hour and my wife came out to the car just as I tied on a WRD. I did not get to cast it. I spent a lot of time cleaning moss of my flies but it was a real good day fishing. I did get photos of two of the Bass. All Bass were released unharmed. I landed a total of ten Bass. Arkansas Tony -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
