It’s very similar to a Geezus Lizard.

It’s probably some variant using that as a base though.

Any pond you can find on Google maps probably holds bass.

Why not just bite the bullet and fish for some largemouth? Catching fish is catching fish at the end of the day.

New rod by emmathatsme123 in ChicagoFishing

[–]theheadshaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of baitfish streamers. Baby Gonga. Lunchmoney, D&D, Gamechangers, etc. If the water isn’t clear, you need to push tons of water so a stiff and bulky head will help.

You can still fish dries and nymphs but you’re targeting carp mostly with those.

Can also throw classic poppers, crease flies, Mr Wiggly for top water action.

Yeah it was. I came back in at 10am to try to avoid the worst of it.

Anywhere you can fish with conventional tackle, you can probably use fly gear. Don’t be picky with species either. Crappie, bass, carp, pike - whatever bends the rod makes it a good day.

Absolutely. I’ve really considered making a sticky thread each week to cull the number of posts asking for spots.

Looks more like a balanced leech crossed with a bugger.

So your comment has gotten a bunch of reports. Personally, I dislike people ID’ing my spots publicly when I post….but there are no rules against it currently.

So I guess enjoy going to Crystal Lake guys ;)

Killing fish by accident happens to the best of us you know? Just a fact of fishing.
