Is there an echo in here?

Clousers, poppers and Wooly Buggers. I have been tying little Clousers with 1/100 oz. dumbell eyes. I can throw them pretty well on my 6wt. Good luck.

The past few times I've fished the farm pond circuit, I've noticed small minnows which have been herded into shallow areas by hungry ba$$. I guess the minnows are the result of a late Summer spawn.

Anyway, a small (size 8) Clouser with some Krystal flash seemed to be the ticket. The Rubber Legged Dragon has been productive also. Kent Edmonds has had some recent luck with foam-head Wooly Boogers.

Let us know how it goes.

Didn't get to flyfish, but had a good time with spinnerbaits, and plastic worms & lizards. The moon-phase was a little messed up, and it was quite sunny. I caught 5, Dad 7, freind caught about 3. Dad and I were tied 5-5, then in the last 15 minutes he switches worms, and catches 2 more bass. Planning on going back there with our flyrods, when we have more time, and fishing for bream, and bass.

Thanks for all replies!
