Day 2 of fishing with my buddy who was visiting from out-of-state.First we fished an urban creek. I was doing more guiding than fishing, but managed to catch Green Sunfish, Hybrid Sunfish, Bluegills, Largemouth Bass, Longear Sunfish, and a Grass Carp.https://s6.gifyu.com/images/S4ARh.jpg https://s6.gifyu.com/images/S4AR7.jpgNext, we visited a spot where he could catch bullhead on fly. I caught Black Bullheads and some large Goldfish:https://s6.gifyu.com/images/S4ARv.jpg https://s6.gifyu.com/images/S4ARq.jpgThe 3rd spot we fished, once again I was doing more guiding than fishing, but managed some Green Sunfish, a Warmouth, and an Eyetail Bowfin:https://s6.gifyu.com/images/S4ARk.jpg https://s6.gifyu.com/images/S4ARm.jpgWe saw an isolated rainshower... though it might miss us. It didn't. The air dropped from 90 degrees to 70 degrees (maybe less, I didn't check until well after the storm passed), the wind was strong, making the cold rain blow horizontal, and we got pelted with marble-sized hail. We both got completely soaked. Even my shoes filled with water! We survived, and were treated to a complete Rainbow.https://s6.gifyu.com/images/S4ARI.jpg
