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 good fishing spots! We stopped at 3 places. At the first spot, I caught a Creek Chub, Green Sunfish, and Rainbow Trout, then lost a sculpin. We relocated downstream 100 yards or so, and I caught a few more Green Sunfish, a Banded Sculpin (Flyfer!), 3 Redspotted Sunfish, 7 Grass Pickerel, and a Knobfin Sculpin.Banded SculpinRedspotted SunfishGrass PickerelKnobfin SculpinRainbow TroutAs we headed to another location, we made a quick stop at a small creek, hoping for chances at some Darter species. We didn't manage any darters, but I did get a Flyfer (fly-lifer) of a Redfin Shiner. Also caught some Bleeding Shiners.Redfin ShinerBleeding Shiners
