Drove 2 hours to hit a new-to-me Ozark creek, hoping to find Rock Bass and Smallmouth Bass.
The creek is low, and very clear, as its largely spring-fed. Beautiful!
I didn’t find any Rock Bass, and only 3 Smallmouth Bass. Not much for size…this was the big one for the day:
I also caught a Hornyhead Chub:
And a Striped Shiner (no picture), a Green Sunfish (no picture), a couple Longear Sunfish:
I also caught a new-to-me species… a trio of Northern Studfish:
Other things seen while fishing:
I dodged a box turtle along the road while driving to the fishing destination.
I found a box turtle shell in this creek, much like a different creek a few weeks ago. But this one was broken:
I saw a Bald Eagle. I saw 3 Otters.
Saw Comma butterflies, and a Spicebush Swallowtail (which I hadn’t heard of or seen before).
So…pretty good day.
