    Caught this 10.5 inch brownie right around sunset as a storm system was about to move in. Focused on a seam next to some fast moving water and used short, quick ...more strips.

    Details: Smallmouth Buffalo with a Hise's Carpnasty

    Looks like a carp but I think this is a smallmouth buffalo; measured 19 inches. There were a bunch of these fish holding right in front of some fast moving water. ...more I dead drifted my fly pattern and nabbed this one. These fish are so fun to fight with light outfits like my 5 wt! I got at least 5 other bites but they all came loose.

      There really are a wide variety of fish in those ponds. Somebody caught a 10 inch rainbow trout while I was there. There's also bass, carp and there should ...more also be some brown trout in there too.
