SUMMARY :
Too warm, too sunny, too nice. For the most part, the quality of the fishing is usually in direct proportion to how comfortable you are. When the weather has been at it's best, the fishing is usually at it's worst. However, when the weather is cold and the water is rough, the fishing is often great. There are exceptions, but they are just that, exceptions.

With water levels dropping quickly, I'm finding that ponds like this one have some extensive areas of shallow water around the shoreline. Tough to get into schools of feeding fish when you can see your lure as you retrieve it in.
