Don't know much about fly fishing but I've learned how to cast and I'm going to give it a try. I've been given access to some farm ponds. They look to be a couple of acres in size maybe 15/20 feet deep. Bluegills and bass. Some of the bass will go 4/5 lbs. Got a 4 pound plus last year on a Senko. There's plenty in the 1/3 lb. range.
I'm hoping to keep it simple. Would an 8ft.5wt.rod and 5wt-wf-f line be a good compromise here or is it overkill? From what I've seen there's as good a chance of catching a bass here as a bluegill. Thanks.
