Got out today
fished at high park lake. mostly this day was to acquaint my wife to some of the mechanics of casting a fly. she did well. no fish for her but she enjoyed herself.
i spent most of my time with leona so made maybe a dozen casts with one of quiviria kids chartreuse too simple panfish flies. got one fish and i have no idea what kind of fish it is. someone id this fish?
This made me very happy. My wife Leona.

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

Looks like the dreaded Asian Carp.
Life is expensive... but it does include a free trip around the sun.

Big Shad???

My guess (based on reading a fish book). A gizzard shad.

shad does account for the spot. although some kind of shad was my first thought i had no real idea what it was. didn't fight much i've had 5" gills tussle a good deal more. the education continues.
