Thread: Weekend Variety in Iowa (early March 2016)

  1. #1

    Default Weekend Variety in Iowa (early March 2016)

    Flyfished for crappies on Thursday evening:






    Sunday was so nice, I decided to try sight-fishing for carp with flies...caught one!:






    Saw a few nice bass. Caught one of those, too. 17.5":



    Went to another pond to try for Grass Carp. Saw plenty, had zero takers. Caught some nice bluegills instead:
    a chunky sow:



    and a decent male:



    And a jumbo 9.5" Hybrid Sunfish...all on topwater:

    That's really awesome! It would be hard to improve on a day like that.

    Looks like you had a great day on the water. Jim
    I'm either going to, coming from or thinking about fishing. Jim

    Nice!

    I need to find a place up here in MI that has hybrid sunnies. I miss fishing for those!

    Caught some nice bluegills and crappies (and tiny bass) on a yellow Boa Yarn Leech last night:

    The carp ate a Whitlock's Near 'Nuff Crayfish... Tied without claws.
