Topwater Bass on the Fly

This evening I took my daughter to a small park pond by my house, and kept catching these little green sunfish about 2-3 inches long.  Didn't take long for us to leave for better waters.


She had some homework to do, so I dropped her off and hit up my go-to pond in Garland.  I had a couple of strikes from some bluegill but did not connect.  I was fishing with a popper dropper rig.  The popper was a small, yellow popper, and the dropper was a bead head pheasant tail nymph.  Caught three bass this evening, and really loved watching them hit the popper.  It's a real thrill to see them hit topwater.
