Flyfished for crappies on Thursday evening:
Sunday was so nice, I decided to try sight-fishing for carp with flies…caught one!:
Saw a few nice bass. Caught one of those, too. 17.5":
Went to another pond to try for Grass Carp. Saw plenty, had zero takers. Caught some nice bluegills instead:
a chunky sow:
and a decent male:
And a jumbo 9.5" Hybrid Sunfish…all on topwater:
That’s really awesome! It would be hard to improve on a day like that. 
Looks like you had a great day on the water. Jim
Nice!
I need to find a place up here in MI that has hybrid sunnies. I miss fishing for those!
Caught some nice bluegills and crappies (and tiny bass) on a yellow Boa Yarn Leech last night:
Nice fish! What did the carp take on?
The carp ate a Whitlock’s Near 'Nuff Crayfish… Tied without claws.
@FishnDave Thanks, will have to try tying some.
Memorial Day:
Great fish! Looks like some nice water as well. Thanks for sharing Dave.
Beautiful redear!
On another website (an Iowa-based flyfishing website) I frequent, I was talking with another member about a t-shirt design idea. This other guy is a really good artist/painter. I had an idea for a “Common Sunfish of Iowa” t-shirt, so I mocked up something quickly using some of my photos to show him what I was thinking. Thought I’d share it here:
