Welcome! I fish Urban ponds allot. Like you mentioned, close, fun and good practice. Not like someone is putting the fish on the hook, you really have to work for them.
I practice casting and try out new flies.
My favorite on the ponds is deep nymphing. I take a 9' leader and attach either a Chronomid or a scud or a nymph to the bottom (some even attach woolly buggers) then I put a tag about 2' up and attach another Chironomid, scud or Nymph. I use an Indicator, starting off at maybe 3' then going deeper till I find the zone they are in.
I will also take a sinking line and try stripping in some nymph or WB.
They can really be fun, specially when you get them figured out and start landing them right and left.
I have never used a pellet fly, so let me know how that works.
