Lightly rained a good part of Saturday in StL. Between that and the cooler temps, I hoped the fish would be active and hungry the next day. Maybe if I was any good at flyfishing, I’d have caught more. :grin: I only caught 12 fish…but 8 species. Here’s some:Freshwater Drum:29" Shortnose Gar:Common Carp:Largemouth Bass:A smaller Shortnose Gar:Yellow Bullhead:A spot-free Channel Catfish:A Warmouth:

And some Bowfin:

Saw other stuff while fishing…eagles, hummingbirds, goldfinches, white herons, great blue herons, frogs, turtles, snakes, butterflies, flowers…a B-29 that flew over twice.[](https://gifyu.com/image/SggqC)I just got an iPhone 14 (Pro?) with the 3 cameras on the back… had a tough time getting it to focus on some of the close-up stuff.

Nice group of fish.

Nice variety of fish and nice photos. Keep trying Dave, you’ll become a Fly Fisherman sooner or later. Dennis
