James came over on Saturday and I took him over to our local pond to do some fishing. He caught several bluegill on the fly, which was fun. The bluegill in that little pond sure have some nice color and markings. We also saw several bass and a large Koi.
I wanted to see if the bluegill would bite on a Berkley Power Worm for trout, so I cut a small piece off and suspended it under a little bobber. I turned away for a second to see how James was doing, then looked back to find my bobber heading off to my right under water. I set the hook on what I thought was a large bluegill, but up came a bass doing a headshake. Had I known it was a bass I would have set the hook a little better.
We fished the pond for several hours before heading off to lunch and the local fly shop. After browsing around the fly shop, we headed over to Harveston for a couple hours but didn't see any sign of life in the water at all.
After taking a bit of a break to participate in the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics with my wife, we headed back over to the pond taking my son along.
James and my son proceeded to catch a few more bluegill in the short time we were there.
It was a fun day, all in all, and I was glad to have the chance to show James around to some of these local city ponds.
