Decided to take an executive lunch break at a pond near where I work. The past year or so it hasn't been a very productive pond and I think I caught 1 LM there last year. There is a good population of sunnies so I took the 4wt with about a 4lb leader to see what I could get into.

Given the recent cold snap I wasn't expecting much but it turns out I was wrong. I ended up catching three bass in the 12-15" range on a slow sinking spider in about 45 minutes.

Nice man!

oh yeah lunch break fishing fix. you got it made!

Nicely done.

You need to change your screen name to spiderman. WTG.

Sounds like a great lunch to me!

Good job!

I am intrigued...what's a slow sinking spider?

Basically it is a fly that is tied not to sink or float per se.  It uses chenille for the body which absorbs water and that in combination with the rubber legs it creates a slow sinking action.  A few extra false casts dries it enough to make it float for a little while.  All the bass hit it as it was slowly sinking too...no action imparted by me other than stripping it into the corect location where i wanted it to begin it's descent.

Thanks. I missed the part about fly fishing. I have been looking for spider lures for my spinning gear but have not had much luck.

Lunch break that I always wish !

 

Nicely done!
