Notes

This seems to me to be an unusual day. These stats really don't paint a good picture of this pond. I live a mille down the road from the pond and have fished it my entire life. On an average day in the summer I catch 15-20 bass mostly in the 15 to 18 inch range. I'm assuming that since I hardly ever ice fish this pond (once a year, maybe) that I just don't know where the fish congregate in the winter. Oh well, I'll wait for June/July and break out some clousers and deer hair poppers on my fly rod.
