Most species in one day

[eponymous]

Just curious what everyone's personal best is for WW species in one day. Not that it is a contest.

I had a strange day last weekend at a little pond near my house - not bigger than a quarter acre.

I caught the following in a one hour outing:

SMB (2 plus lbs)
crappie (big 'un)
pumpkin seed
bluegill
perch
pickerel (an itty bitty one)

The strange thing is I caught only one of each species - 6 fish - all different. Seemed unusual to me.

One morning earlier this summer it was:

Stripers up to 5 lbs.
Largemouth
Smallmouth
Bluegill
and a 4 1/2 ft Alligator Gar that luckly let go of the fly before it got to the boat and I had to figure out how to release it.

All of them on a Clouser.

Rick:

That carp sounds nice. Had I been really lucky I could have nabbed one of them as well. There are a few that lazily swim around in that pond. I have yet to target them. For some reason I only can find them when I do not have the fly rod with me.

By the way - wooley buggers - black and olive.
