Stockponds in western SD are loaded with stunted bass and the occasional big leg woman bucket mouthed bass.  Plus there are always "prairie trout", a.k.a. northern pike, bluegills, crappie, perch, etc.  Standing in a wide bottom canoe under a full moon on the prairie with a 5 wt whippersnapper rod is a great thing!

Chris what for flies are you using?
Lucy was trying to use her fly rod in the pond last night but she couldn't get any takers.

NICE ! Your a Man of many talents - LOVE fishing with a Fly Rod. I'm guessing 5 1/2 to 6 lbs. Haven't fished for "Stump Carp" in  along time - I usually chase River Smallies  O:) Bob

Streamers in various colors and mouse flies in black Rob. This particular fish took what I call a crystal minnow. Its a 3" streamer fly with clear and iridescent materials, it also has a little red throat patch of hair. I think that's the killer.

     Nice, even in Florida, it would be considered a keeper.  I am with Eddie, 5-6lb.s  Yeah, it is a blast catching bass on a fly rod.  I used to bass fish with a fly rod.  Even used a cheap Walmart big reel, and to catch sea trout.  They catch marlin on fly rods, so a bass isn't phenomenal at all.  Nice fish just the same, and a lot of fun.  I used a deer hair mouse, I made, and some poppers to catch bass with.  Even used the poppers to catch some sea trout.
