Fly Fishing White Pond
I used the Wulff Ambush Taper fly line today to be able to make some longer cast at White Pond.
The Ambush Taper has a twenty foot head which makes the line ideal for single hand Spey Casting.
Whenever I don't know what fly to use I start small. I used a # 16 Bead Head nymph
pattern to catch the bluegill out in the middle of the pond.
What makes this pond different is that I saw no fry anywhere on the shore line today.
The pond is listed as having bass, carp, pickerel, catfish, yellow perch and sunfish.
I saw no evidence of fish activity at all.
North of the pond is this stream which feeds the pond and it is here that trout are stocked.
A quiet pool.
