I fished Pleasant Pond today in Wenham. I loaded the kayak into the truck, threw my 5 weight into the back with a box of flies and took off. I arrived at the pond late, around 6:30 am. The fish were already breaking, some coming clear out of the water. There was a solid midge hatch going on, and trout were going bananas. I caught a nice 15" rainbow right off the bat on a #10 black wooley bugger but failed to get a picture as the hook popped out right at the boat. After about 15 minutes the sun came out and sent all the trout toward the bottom. Some of the "old folk" locals got a few on the bottom on powereggs. I was disappointed that the sun came out, since I did not bring a sinking line. None the less I switched over to a #18 griffins gnat and caught bluegills that were sipping midges on top in the back cove.
