What are some good bass lures/flies to use on a 5wt fly fishing setup? Found a small pond in my neighborhood that nobody else fishes at (there's a bigger pond near the main entry point of the neighborhood that I see people fishing all the time) and I tried it out yesterday snagging bluegill every other cast on dry flies. Water is kinda muddy and hard to see through but I did spot some surprisingly large bass. Today I was trying to use some frog poppers, got one bass to follow but it ended up swimming underneath and away from it. Also tried some larger brown/black wooly buggers but only got more bluegill. I'm pretty new to fly fishing so my sense of feeling bites and setting the hook with streamers is pretty shit (I usually hook fish while rapidly stripping) so maybe getting bites without realizing. There's tons of frogs coming out right now so I figured that would be their main food source. Pic is a little fatty I got yesterday on the first cast there, just seeing if fish actually lived there since it's a man made pond.
