    Default What's YOUR "Fish List"?

    hey folks - just thinking about this now that I'm starting to fish warm waters.

    What does your fish list look like on a fly rod? I know some people are really good at adding "new species", and while I have a few, I know it's nothing like what some others have.

    Also interested if the saltwater folks have a lot more than freshwater folks.

    Here's mine:
    TROUT
    - Rainbow
    - Brown
    - Brookies

    WARM WATER (Just started fishing with a flyrod)
    - Largemouth Bass
    - Bluegill
    - Green Sunfish
    - Bluegill
    - Red ear Sunfish

    So how about the rest of you?
    Thank God for my wife, the midge nymph and those hapless Iowa Hawkeyes!

    I can't say about fly fishing but there's a lot of feed lots in Kansas.
