Cow Pasture, 4/23/2020

Debbie and I caught a small batch of these guys, this eve at a private farm pond we call "the Cow Pasture". We could see them hitting the surface all around, and they wouldn't touch anything we had. Too much cover to fly fish. We had some of these little suspending dive baits. I chopped most of the bill's off, eliminated the split ring on the nose, and tied them on to 2 micro rods with 4lb flouro. They would sit right under the surface, and only wobble a little and not dive on retrieve. Then, we'd cast, wait 30 secs, slow roll a foot or so, stop and repeat. It worked and we left some of them with sore lips :-) We also caught a Golden Shiner!
