Damselfly…

I was out on the pond this morning and picked up a few small bass and pickerel on olive over white clousers.
As the morning warmed a few damselflies starting fly about. This one looked to be drying off its wings from emerging.
The guy who lives directly across the street from us, we have gotten to know them because we keep a couple horses there. They have a little pond that has sunfish in it. No other predators. So tons of tiny, business-card sized sunfish, but then some monster sunfish too! I take my 3-weight and a couple cold beers over there and have a lot of fun in the summertime.
I almost forgot why I brought that up. A blue damselfly pattern is about the most successful fly I catch those on. They love it the second it hits the water! Never caught a trout on one, but the sunnies love ’em.
Carter…if you are digging the old school clickers…then you might enjoy these threads from the Fiberglass Flyrodders board.

It is amazing how often you can find new in the box reels from days of yester year on ebay for quite reasonable prices.
Yeah…I am looking for a South Bend 1144 or 1155 (think bright red click and pawl) to put on a eight and a half foot eight weight Garcia Conolon (bright blue fiberglass rod) to use for stripers and maybe even salt.
