Thea and I decided to check out a new pond that we haven't fished before. The pond is pretty small but looked like it could hold some fish. The water is still pretty cold and I didn't see any fish at all in the shallows, not even bluegill. We fished the North side of the pond (from H10 to Q2) for about two hours without a hit or a sign of fish. We started with surface flies (gurglers) and then tried some nymphs and small streamers. The pond is supposed to hold bass, crappie, and bluegill. We will have to try again later in the season when things warm up a bit. There are extensive shallows and the water is pretty clear, so it could be fun sight fishing for bluegill if they are active. The park and adjacent bike trail were very busy, so it would be best to fish this on a weekday evening to avoid the crowds. The narrow section of the pond near M9 is intriguing, as there is a quick drop off with some cattails on the shore providing structure.
