WENT FISHING TODAY

Decided to head over to some spring ponds not to far from my place today instead of the tribs in Milwaukee. These ponds are full of spooky trout that love scuds and midges. A pair of really small ponds connected by a short (50 feet)stream held some eager brookies.

It is really hard to see but there was also a nice sized Northern Pike living with these brookies lying in a very good ambush position.

Tried to get this guy with a streamer on my 4 wt but he wasn't having it.

I then headed over to another pond where the fish were a little spookier and didn't want to play with me

I'll leave you with a shot of one of my favorite rods.
