I had a little pond in MO I fished for many years, caught some nice fish outta that place. I loved the peace, the quiet, and the fact that I could frog all day and smash them. That being said, the only other person I fished that place with was my Dad, and for me, that's just as good as having the place to myself.
I now find myself in CO, and if I could, I would love to find another little pond like that. I fished Wateree for years and loved it as well, caught some huge fish, but I'll always miss the solitude of that little reservoir.
