I regularly fish a 4 acre pond loaded with bream and bass and do really well with the bream until late May ( when it gets very hot)! This pond is football field shapped running north and south. Most of my fish are caught on the south end in water up to three feet. Middle of the pond is about 8 ft. - the north end near the dam goes to 15 ft. The fish I catch in early and mid summer hit floating spiders and sinking flies equally well. Most days I fish late evening until nearly dark. This pond has virtually no cover and no grass - owner put too many grass carp in the pond. I do not think that the pond has any drop offs -just seem to slope
from the bank to the middle. Suggestion on how you would fish this pond in hot weather?

Use a weighted fly, i.e. a cap spider or a weighted nymph, under a strike indicator, anywhere from 3' to 8'.

Great advice, Don, most people strip their flies much too fast. I strip mine just two to three inches at a time.

Welcome abord As you can see information is always available from a great bunch of guys. All I can say is ditto to the suggestions above.

Thanks, guys. I assume that I should cast along the bank and constantly
go deeper to locate the fish - right? The sinking flies I use most are zug bugs, copper johns, cap spiders and wooley buggers (#10 and 12's) - I am guessing these will work in very deep water. I am open for any suggestions regarding locating fish or flies that will work better. Again thanks.
