I stopped by a local pond on the way home Thursday afternoon and thought I would try a #12 popper on my BVK 3 wt. I was pleasantly surprised! I caught 6 or 7 small bass and a few small bream. Yeah, I know they were small but, what a hoot on the 3 wt. Could it be that the weather is getting right for much overdue real fishing? I sure hope so....
