Reunited and it feels so good

[Martin McFly]

I went to my local pond this morning and finally caught fish, enough fish to feel like a fly angler again lol. Small panfish yes but fish is fish darn it (bluegill, tilapia and shad (?)).
I caught them on my 3wt and I even got a good bend from one of the tilapias.
It had been a long time since I caught fish so you can imagine why I am so excited.
I caught them on a San Juan fly, corn fly (thank you guys) and a fly I tied last night, I'm sure somebody has tied something like that but I don't know the name. Here are some pix of today's catches.









Is this a shad?

Nice going, Martin!!

As for the last picture...that doesn't look like the shad we have here in the Midwest. Couldn't tell you what it really is, though.

[Martin McFly]

Well, that's what I thought at first but it looked more like a tiny carp but I'm sure that's not what it is either. They swim in large schools and just attack anything that comes close to them...still trying to figure out what those are. The other ones are tilapias. Man, I'm just happy I'm catching fish again.

Parana ???
Might be almost anything in that pond, really.
Glad to see you are catching again.

Looks like a little tilapia to me.

Haha, no Sonny, I didn't see teeth on that little one but those are hungry fish that's for sure. I even caught a smaller one on the corn fly very aggressive little buggers.
I don't think it is a tilapia but then again who knows what is in that pond I have seen a very odd looking bottom feeder. It's not your regular aquarium plecostomus it looks weird.
There is another fish we caught at G-Park in AZ, nobody could tell for sure what it was either.
