Cat on the clouser minnow fly
I fished on the pond with the fly rod this evening for a couple of hours after trying to catch some bass with my stick worms and the Zoom stick worm without results. Just as before on my last posting, the bluegills were grabbing the tail of the stick worms. I did manage to catch a couple of small bass on the fly but no luck with the larger bass. Again, this is after another rain storm. The weather was hot and muggy. My guess is that the bass were not in a feeding mood because of the heat or the fish were waiting for dark to feed. I also tried a floating frog and missed one strike in the area where I could hear the frogs croaking. I tried that for about half an hour with no other takers. The water is very dirty and warm, I’m sure that has a lot to do with the problem. Next week we’re supposed to have a few nice days with temperatures in the mid 80’s. I’ll try again then. You can see the fly still in the mouth of the cat in the top photo a black/white clouser to try to match the bass fry.
