Back to the Duck Pond

[Paul Dolan]

Had a fish at the duck pond yesterday and had a ball I started with a edge bite amongst the lilly's using a Husky Jerk in Glass minow colour Landed about a dozen or so and a sleepy cod which was a first for me.

Then as the afternoon rolled on a I located a big school of quality fish with the Humminbird 798 SI  where I've found them in past years and caught them on Fly and Ima Jigs. It was a fish a cast for about an hour with which ever I decided to cast at them.

Being able to hole position with the Minn Kota I-pilot is a real bonus with schooled fish you don't have to do anything but fish.

Awesome fun at a great lil dam.

 Paulo yeh my first Sleepy cod,apparently there are quite a few in there and I love finding schools like that one you know straight away it's game on especially on fly cause they just cant resist a fly twiched through them..

Fitz funny you should ask that,when I was catching the bass around the edges I think I spooked one as I went in to get a bass out of the lilly's,only a few meters in front of me were those 2 tell tale little whirl pools the toga leave when they take off and I instantly thought of toga.
I would love to see a few thousand in there it would be a great location for them they love that sort of country.

Thanks Dougout it's in your backyard mate just go do it,top lil dam that one I'll be getting up there as much as I can as the water warms to get into some topwater bass on fly.
I did try a bit of topwater fishing the other day but no takers.

We we advised about this dam a week ago some yakkers where fishing the school bass in the evening and where pulling around 20/30 each evening, we had already pass it and we decided not too travel backwards. Adding it too the do list later in the year.
