Mobile Fishing Livestream 139 (Spotify)

I hit the little neighborhood pond this morning with nothing but a 4-weight, a phone on a stick, and one pattern tied on: the infamous “Banned Fishing Fly.” No backup flies, no net, no expectations.
The water was still, the pads were nowhere, and the bass were tiny, exactly like they’ve always been in this spot. I spent an hour stripping that single fly through the scum, working the edges, letting it hang, giving little twitches. A couple of bluegills swirled, a turtle photobombed the frame, and I was honestly just enjoying the quiet.
Then, right at the hour mark, a little 8-inch largemouth darted out from under a lily pad and crushed it like it owed him money. The 4-weight bent perfectly, the fish jumped twice, and I laughed out loud at how ridiculously fun a hand-sized bass can be when it’s the only one that shows up.
I unhooked him, watched him rocket back into the weeds, killed the live stream, and called it the best morning I’ve had in weeks.
Proof that you don’t need a 7-weight, a 20-incher, or a pile of fish to make a trip perfect. Sometimes an 8-inch bass on a 4-weight and a fly that’s supposedly “banned” is more than enough.
Tight lines and small-water smiles!
