8 Species Saturday
Flyfished a creek again yesterday. 8 species! Including a "first" for me... (2) Goldeye. In addition to those, I caught (1) White Bass, (1) Spotted Bass, (3) Bluegills, (7) Grass Carp, (7+) Shortnose Gar, (1) Bighead(?)Carp, (1) Channel Catfish. Nothing especially big, but I sure enjoyed it.
For perspective, it took me 10 years to catch 7 Grass Carp on flies in Iowa. I caught that many TODAY in Missouri! Pretty fun!
