Been packing a flyrod on most trips lately (GA, HI, etc) with no success beyond casting. Just returned from a birding trip to Trinidad. Packed the 1wt. Was able to spend a couple hours chasing Tilapia in a small pond. Never fished for them before so ws more clueless than normal about what to use. I settled on a woolly worm. Actually had a number of swirls while it acted as a dry. Had two actual hits and one stuck. A nice fish of about 7.5". Probably should have fished either earlier or later when it was cooler. Due to tons of recent rains water was not clear so I couldn't see them. Must be lots of fish in that pond as we saw two kinds of Kingfishers, one species of heron, and the rumor of fishing bats.
