Is it time?

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....
