I had alittle time before the sun went down today after I got off of work to go and try my hand at a couple of Sunfish. I drove up to Ralph B. Clark Regional Park from my office in Cypress, and got out the 9′ 3 weight with 5x tippet. I used the dry dropper system, a Mini Popper as the dry and a Prince Nymph as the dropper fly. I fished the section of the lake where there is a lily pad pond, and pulled out 5 Sunfish in about 30 minutes. Right when I was leaving the Bass had started to come out, I had hooked a nice one but it broke water and spit my fly almost as soon as I hooked it. I cant wait for the warm weather to start holding, once these cold fronts stop the fishing should really heat up.

Love to fish at this Park. Great spot for Panfish.
(Ian) Thanks for the comment. It is a really good spot, one of the few places to fish Lily Pads at a Park Lake in Southern California!
Going to check this spot out tomorrow at lunch. Looking forward to some fun!
Nice. Good Luck!!!
