Looks to me like a great opportunity for free (or paid to remove) woodchips for landscaping! Remove, chip it, bag it up and sell it! If you take me up on the idea, all I ask is for 5% royalty. Cheap! You're welcome!

Absolutely! Consider it done....

I didn't catch these with a fly. The got beached on shore, but were still alive, so I returned about 1/2 dozen of them back into the water. @Ham and others helped ID these as Slenderhead Darters:

I don't know why I waited to start this thread. But I did. So now, as of April 29th, I've managed 40 species on fly for the year. Can't brag about it, as @Ham has more than this so far, and he's on his way towards getting 100 species on fly AGAIN this year. That's not my goal, but I certainly do like to catch a variety of fish on fly. So, I'll start with the early stuff and try to catch up to the current fish as I'm able, more or less chronologically. Some of the fish may have been shared in various other posts others started. Everyone is welcome to share their 2024 fly-caught fish here as well if you'd like. Striped Bass: Blue Catfish:
