I was having a discussion about mottled sculpin in the Niangua and got confirmation that the genus for the mottled sculpin and this sculpin species will be changing.

I would suggest going for the rock bass trifecta, Northern Rock bass, ozark and Shadow bass. Will have to travel some to get all three but they are very doable on a fly.
Dave - If you want to include micros to your list, I would suggest that you go back to where you caught the longears and tie a #18 or #20 dropper fly below your bigger fly. Should be able to pick up one or two more species.

Actually sounding more like that garden gnome that was stolen and the former owner would get photos of the gnome next to world famous monuments as it was taken all over the world.
