Haven't posted in awhile. Fished a valley bass pond east of Merced on Friday. We never got in the water. Bass (males?) were in the shallows on beds, so we sight fished with frog patterns early morning. Switched to dragon fly nymphs and then to adult dragon flies and crawfish patterns when we saw dragons on the water. Fish responded to all patterns and naturals mentioned. We're going back with the same patterns and strategy when we fish with Ken Hanley, Al Smatsky (Excellent Adventures) and Chef John Ryzanich (the Softex dude) in two weeks, a NCCFFF Hall of Fame auction item from last October. Ken is doing good and he'll carpool out with us. I'll pass along any stories that can be recalled- the short term memory is going though, so will have to resort to a camera. I already promised Ken to have a carafe of strong coffee for the ride to the ponds- that'll loosen him up faster than liquor. A good time is promised by all. It will definitely be a hoot.
