I got out today for a couple hours of pond fishing. The beginning of the week I fished the Wood River and got skunked. Fast cold water was keeping the bugs from coming off and the fish weren't biting. Today, I hit a tiny pond and caught two tiny brookies on the ugliest fly in my box: a Mickey Finn. I threw flyswap flys and other standbys at the risers, let them sink and stripped them in.... I got nada until the sun was up a couple hours. I got 2 brookies and a yellow perch, and then another hour of nada and I went home. The River is still cold and we're all waiting on it.
