An Urban Creek, 10-22-2020

[FishnDave]

Took the day off...looks to the be last 80-degree day of the year here...It was hot! I was parched, even though I brought water with me.
I visited the urban creek, hoping for more grass carp, gar, etc.
None of those showed up, so they are probably done for the year.
I only managed a few fish, 3 Largemouth Bass, 1 Bluegill, 1 Longear Sunfish, 2 Spotted Bass, and 2 Sauger. Nothing big...as usual.












And....things seen while fishing...
I saw a Garter Snake, and this Great Plains Ratsnake



this freshwater clam shell is possibly the most beautiful I've seen:

Excellent photos Dave!

Thanks, Dennis!
I don't know why the sauger pictures turn out as big as they do...I'd make 'em a little smaller if I could. It appears they pictures are being held to a certain width, regardless of height. Apologies to everyone.
Maybe it would have been better to combine several images together into a single image, like I did with the spotted bass. Lets see if that makes them easier to view:

Cell phone cameras are so handy and high quality images... Wish we'd had these when I was younger, too!

[FishnDave]

Yeah, that's probably better. I'll try to keep that in mind for the future.
