Pond at Davis Library

No luck this morning at the pond at Davis Library in Plano. Saw several Bass in the shallows but none were interested. Cool temps, winds, lure presentation.... Not certain but came away empty this trip.

Checked out the pond at Cottonwood Creek Trail. Fished a Black Wooley Bugger in hopes of Bass. No luck. Only light nibbles that were most likely from the small Sunfish in the pond. Water was stained from the recent rains.
