    Default 3-minute fish!


    Lately LV has been blessed with daytime sprinkle, which inadvertently brought down the mercury a tad. After work yesterday I saw my hour of opportunity to see some multispecies of fish this pond been known to hold. Armed with something a little unconventional (pun intended): a home-made ultralight casting rod attached to a Abu conventional baitcaster, just for kicks. Caught 6 Bluegills, 8 carps, 1 green sunfish and 7 channel cats....AND 1 feline, that took 3 minutes plus to land!

    Size 14 dry flies for Bluegills and green sunfish. Then tip piece of squid for carp and catfish for scent.
