I've always enjoyed catching a variety, but my list was fairly stagnant for a long time. Until I moved from Iowa to Missouri. Lots more opportunities here, and I've picked up quite a few more from...

Just what we need, right? :)East coast fisheries biologists have been studying them for awhile in their waterways. For the most part, they say the presence of these fish has improved the rest of the...

At our last spot, we fished a swamp that was flooded and muddied up from recent rains. I beached but lost a Spotted Gar, but caught a Warmouth and 2...

Before leaving Arkansas on Sunday, I decided to try for some species I don't normally get near home. My buddy that I fished with the previous day for Snakeheads, fished with me. He knows so many...

Met up with a buddy in Arkansas to try to get Northern Snakehead added to my fly rod life list. He'd already gotten one on fly rod, and a few others on spinning gear.We fished from a canoe, and it...

Very good, Rick!

Thanks, fellas! :)

I just realized I should have been putting my fishing reports HERE, instead of under the "Warmwater" forum. Well...here we go.After work one day last week, I was killing time waiting on my wife, and...

Jumbos! Nice fish, Rick! :)

Yes, Bighead Carp. First one I've ever caught.

First visit of the year to this spot. Its a not insignificant drive, but very doable for a day trip. I didn't catch big numbers of fish, but managed 10 species, and some nice individuals.I caught...

Thanks fellas! :)Gar have been around a REALLY long time. They aren't particularly fast or agile predators (except once hooked!), more of a sit-and-wait or slow ambush style... or easing up close to...

Went looking for Orangespotted Sunfish again. Went to a spot where I caught a single one last year. Found some! Caught 5, a few others flipped back into the water before I could "land" them. Also...

I don't often fish during the work-week anymore, but my wife is out-of-town for her work. So.....After work on Tuesday, I did some errands, and then fished for a bit after the rain passed. Saw a...

Next day, after work, I went looking for Orangespotted Sunfish. Did not see/catch any.Did catch some Green Sunfish, Bluegills, Hybrid Sunfish, a Black Crappie, and a Grass Carp. Had another Grass...

Didn't have a lot of time... got out fishing around mid-afternoon. Air temp upper 50's. Wind speed @ 15mph.Caught 7 fish, 6 species. Cool, but also was unable to string together successful...

Good snake. Haven't seen any poisonous ones in the area, as far as I know.

Nice warm day in the 80's, with stronger wind than I would have preferred... but it helped keep me cool.I fished 2 spots that require a significant amount of walking. I ended the day with over...

Sounds like a great day, Rick! Glad you got out!

Thanks fellas! It's fun to catch new-to-me fish. Ah, who am I kidding...it's fun to catch ANY fish! :) Some of these little creek species can get very colorful when they spawn. The Bleeding...

A flyfishing buddy and his flyfishing wife, from Iowa, whom I've fished with before, came down to the Saint Louis area for a weekend of fishing before staying to glimpse the Eclipse in that path of...

Well, that's a good question, so I checked out what the going pay rate is. Turns out, what I do isn't appreciated financially. But, I COULD earn up to $19.99/hr if I was, instead, a Snake Rescuer...

There were some large schools of Mosquitofish / Gambusia, so I switched to micro flies to try for them. They'd hit, but couldn't even get hooked on the tiny Tanago fly!I caught some Green Sunfish,...

Nice warm day in the mid-70's.... kinda windy. Had a good outing, lots of walking.... I need better shoes. I caught 7 Bowfin, and lost a number of others. I got to sight-fish some of them, which...

Took off work a few hours early on Friday...nice weather, did a couple hours of fishing nearby.Caught some Bluegills, Green Sunfish, a Longear Sunfish, and a couple White...
