I found out about a pond only a couple miles from my house and decided to take out the buggy whip and see what was in it.   I also caught a good amount of bass. There were plenty of those green sunfish and they're always willing to come out and play. -Tom

Love those fish for their beauty!  Caught this one on a private pond I was evaluating last week near Krum, Texas. It had all kinds of wildlife around it!

The evil spinning reel has disturbed this ratite relic of the last century. You were lucky to have escaped with your entrails intact and in their proper location. Apparently the bamboo whippy stick was enough to cancel out the devil's gear.  Beautiful fish, folks.

Sunnies on the fly, great fun on a 2wt if you got one I've been watching for one on craigslist or ebay. There seem to be plenty of 3 weights out there, but I'm really wanting to hold out for a 2wt. -Tom

I appreciate the heads-up folks. I'll look into them.
