That pond in the bird sanctuary can be pretty productive, you can legit chum there too and pretend you are feeding the birds lol.

Also judging by the size of some of those porkers in there you would be woefully undergunned with the 6 weight!!

i know carp fisherman that use a 5wt, they need too cause you cast anything higher than a 5 and when the line hits the water its spook's them and they run off.

Stealth and suitability for the size of the fish are not the same thing.
