Default Re: sunny ponds for kids?

Unfortunately most places are lined with trees/bushes making back casts an issue. I end up wading into most places just to get room. I'm often standing in muck up to my knees casting parallel to shore. Its a lot of work but fun as I've caught numerous species from sunnies to bass to pickerel to crappie this way. Good fights no matter what especially on a light action/8 foot fly rod. I tried a dragonfly imitation last year and the bass/pickerel were all over it. I just need to figure out how not to have pickerel cut my very thin line. Those dragon "flies" are not cheap.
