They really seem to like a slow sinking nymph fly! It actually feels like a 4# fish is smacking the fly when they hit it! The smallies are a bit smaller at 1# and 12 1/2", but they I haven't had them break the 4# test line yet and Ive caught several. Thanks Jamie, I think I've had two hits from the HSB. One of these days I'll land one. They seem like 4 times the fish as the SMB, and the SMB seem like 4 times the fish as the YP. Ha!
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
