Proving my superior Fly Fishing skills!
Got a camera finally, took it out for an hour or so last night.  this pond had some BRUISERS of all species in it..   Like this one!  And this one!!    Yeah, Yeah, I know. But I don't care, I just picked up some tiny poppers and had a blast. I've fished this pond and caught some 4+ lb LM, but I only took the fly this time, and screwed around. The takes on those poppers we're impressive. I'm thinking BIG, gaudy poppers or anything that floats on the surface could entice a bass out of hiding.

whats an uplocking reel?
The rod is a 2 piece, when I'm done, I break em down, and stick em side by side. The Gumband holds em together at the bottom.
The reel is big for a 4 wt. It's a mid arbor.

Nice pics. I'm after those lil guys now, getting in some practice swings with the flyrod.
I don't always snag fish, but when I do... I choose Little Cleos I'm the best looking smartest snagging poacher alive...

Nice pics bolt... I finally got a wild grand slam today.. well the brown is questionable, but either way, its been in there awhile. First pic is the brown, what do you fellas think?   Wild Brook:  Wild Bow:

Jim, was that up where you were talking about going? I checked a map and I think I've camped along that stream, but it was years ago.

yes sir.. that's where the bows came from... some beautiful water and very nice people owning surrounding property. Had a fellow come out and talk fly fishing with us for a few minutes and gave us a few tips on other places to go. Nothing great in terms of size, but we missed a few with some girth. My buddy nymphed and I stayed up top... fish were active as hell despite warmer water than I expected.

Nice pictures!
The brown looks to be a streambred one. The adipose fin has good red color and the fins that I can see seem to be in good shape :)

I'm sure it was unintentional.
Topwater is **** fun. I'm going to go out looking for something to attract LM's. Any Ideas?

I think I know the pond in the first pic. Do you have permission to fish it? It looks really familiar, and is really posted. ?

you shouldn't take this forum to heart so much... its pretty pathetic. Stay in your little circle of friends, I don't need the criticism from "God of the fisherie.com boards" bolt... sorry if I really offended you, but God would have ridiculed something in the thread if I had started a new one anyway.
