6 Bluegill and 7 Bass On Damsel Flies!

New fishing spot turned out to be a good thing.  Passed this one by many times and have been meaning to fish it for a couple of years.  Finally checked it out yesterday evening. Noting the sign indicated catch and release only, pond looked promising!

Was going to fish topwater with the Deer Hair Bug.  But, since the cool front dropped temps into the 50's, tied on a Damsel Fly instead.  Soon after started catching fish; caught 6 Bluegill and 7 Bass by the end of the trip.

Largest Bluegill went about 8" in size; largest Bass went about 15" or 16" in size.  All were caught on Damsel Flies!  Had a great time catching (and releasing) them!
