Bingo - that's it. It's like good practice, locally.
Haven't been to your pond, but think my closest is smaller yet. You can cast from one shore to another. Fun seeing folks practicing a fly. I need to give that a go - just wish they'd clear some of the low branches and weeds.
Fun to be able to use a spinner before the weeds take over. I was hitting every cast, so thought I'd experiment. Ok - got a pond of fresh fish that'll chase ANYTHING - lets see what hits. Tried some Joe's flies, various spoons, some homemade numbers (yes - they got hits! Wohoo). First time in water for a number of spoons & spinners. Give it 5 pitches each, then move on.
But it still came back to that gold/red dot Little Jake - was loved the most.

With a pair of polarized lenses it's fun to watch a whole school follow your lure right, swiping all the way. My boy got a kick out of that. I had a chance to hand a rod to some guys 3-4 yr old kid to reel. He had a serious fight on his hands. Man was he winded! Nice.
