So I used to catch plenty of trout on flies years ago on the west coast and had tried fly fishing the ponds here in the Charlotte areas a few times without any luck.
We've got a neighborhood pond with carp, sunfish, catfish, and bass.
We've tried lots of stuff there, but have only ever caught anything on worms. A few carp, a couple small bass, and lots of sunfish.
But a couple days ago, my daughter and I went out and weren't getting any bites with worms.
So I pulled out the fly rod and small white Betts popper and caught 3 sunfish in about 10 minutes.
Next goal is to get a decent sized bass.
