Last night I was able to push off into the family pond for a couple hours on the Versa Board, with an eight foot Featherlight, and a couple fly boxes full of poppers of all sorts.
All loaded down and ready to find a few top water eaters. I'm finding that the William Joseph Conduit gear bag works nicely on the back of the Versa Board. I just need to figure out a way to secure it to the deck of the kayak for trips outside of the pond.
While changing flies I noticed a flurry of boils and cast a popper from Carolina Fly into the mix. One miss and then connection on the next cast with this nice bass.
Switched up and fished the Idylwilde Price's Warmwater Whammy for the last hour and had a smash after dark that really put a bend in the rod. He was smaller than the first bass but you wouldn't have known it by the fight.
The more time I spend on the family pond the more I am impressed with it. It certainly does not hold pushover bass but it is a beautiful spot to spend a few hours trying.
