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...
Ouch! I deserve that. I don't condone it. :) Since they are considered non-native invasives, snagging is a legal way to catch them. I still hate that I did it, but I did it. It did eat the fly...
Left the Micros alone. Went to try for my first Bowfin of the year. Caught one, lost one.:https://s9.gifyu.com/images/SUogy.jpgCaught some Green Sunfish and a Bluegill. Tried for Common Carp for...
