Alanson, MI Posts: 121 | I think I found a beaver pond by where I'll be fishing this weekend (google earth is pretty cool!). Does this look like one to you folks? ![]() Also, what tactics come to mind when fishing them? I've never fished one before. My ideas are to throw some hoppers or stimulators, and maybe a black leach or wooly bugger. Possibly a griffiths gnat for the midges... Of course you never really know until you get to the water. What do you guys do on the ponds you've fished? | |

Oscoda, MI Posts: 2493 | Tim, your tactics sound just about right. Hoppers are hot everywhere right now, just got a bunch of pond brookies on them myself tonight! Woolly buggers and leech patterns are also a good bet. Maybe a small popper or two to imitate frogs? I haven't done this yet but I do have a little green and red one that I need to toss out there one night... Good luck and take some pics if you are successful! Jonathon | |
No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere... | ||
