Texas

I see a shadow hanging like a barracuda at the edge of the weed cover in the
pond out front. It could be an eighteen-inch largemouth bass. It's not in
a good spot for a spinner bait. Too weedy. I could drop a popper right in
front of his nose with my flyrod, though. If I had my flyrod.
Unfortunately, we brought spinning gear for the ocean and left the fly
fishing gear in Colorado because we wouldn't need it again until spring.
Guess he'll have to remain a hanging shadow.
