thanks for the suggestions,
its crystal springs pond. IDFG stocks this pond and it is primarily 6" catchable trout. I guess its refferred to as a put and take pond.
I like this little pond because the recent freeze here in Idaho has forced me to park my boat. The naturals springs prevent the small pond from freezing. Since it has been really mossy this fall I have not tried really used this place for fly rod practice. Mostly I have only done fishing here with my kids using worms. I consider this pond pretty much a Kiddie type setup by IDFG suchas the one in shelley next to the snake river. Only stocked with trout.
The sinking line has been good for me in other nearby lakes. this little pond has shallow banks that let me wade in and cast. I just kinda wanted to probe others thoughts and Ideas since the stripping method works great, I figure I need to change it up and use other methods that use a floating line and/or indicators.
I have yet to see a fish strick my flies so i want to see if maybe I can take a closer look if I slow down my retrieve and bring my fly into view. problem is that my current setup if I retrieve to slow, i pull in moss. Will try floating line next time I go and post results. Hopefully next saturday.
