Dalton Pond Success with Flys?
Posted: Mon Apr 14, 2008 2:29 pm
Anyone out there have any tips (from experience) on fly fishing Dalton Pond in Franklin County? The lake has been heavily stocked and I got skunked this past Thursday evening. I wetted almost every fly I had (buggers, hare's ear, prince, copper johns, mayflys, ants, adams, leeches, damsels, etc) deep and shallow. Found one spot along the north shore where some fish were feeding at the surface. I am just waiting for someone to confirm it, but everything I saw indicated I needed to throw out some chronimids. All the planter ponds like this that I have fished have been pretty predictable with good success coming with hare's ears, buggers, and the like. I'm not a big chronimid guy and all I had that day were fairly large with no strike indicators. I also didn't venture to the east end of the lake. It would be great to hear from anyone who's been there, even spin/bait fishers. Thanks
