Variety Pack Fishing - Tell us what you've Caught this Year

[Kayser]

Oh, and I've caught a couple in LOZ on small flukes. Hurricane deck area.

Did some small creek fishing today using small pieces of worms. I had heard that this creek held white suckers. I caught a bunch of creek chubs including this spawning male.

I didn't catch a white sucker, but did land a new species for 2015. I believe it is a common shiner and have one I will key out at work tomorrow.

I'll have to take out my daughter, since she has not either of these species. They were definitely not shy. I caught over two dozen fish in a couple of hours.

Ended up catching a channel catfish this evening. Now I'm up to 17 species for 2015.

This is fun... Great thread!

What I have caught this year:

- White Bass

- Walleye

- Bluegill

- Black Crappie

- White Crappie

- Largemouth

- Kentucky

- Rainbow Trout

- Brown Trout

- Cutthroat Trout

At one point I counted up all the species I have caught in my lifetime so far... I was surprised. If I remember correctly, I was up past 120 different species. Fun exercise, nonetheless.

Clay,

in terms of lifetime totals you're well ahead of me. I only have 89 different freshwater and saltwater species that I can remember. It's killing me not to break 100. There are three on your list for this year that I have never caught, cutthroat trout, walleye, and white bass. I hope to change some of that this year.

I did catch an easy species on Thursday. The longear sunfish. I haven't even tried for these guys yet this year, but now its number 18 for 2015.

I'll add some photos soon. I'm at 22 species for the year. I should easily pass last year's 28 species since I made the salty trip and got a quick five species down there. i got a Green Sunfish day before yesterday. No photo on him. I'm get a pretty one soon and take a photo of it instead.

Last six species. Drum, Yellow Bass, Black Crappie, Channel Cat, Long Ear Sunfish, and Green Sunfish.

Took my daughter out to a small creek to fish yesterday the 25th. We fished worms and she was using a bobber. She caught 27 fish in a couple of hours. Better yet she was able to catch two new species to her 2015 fishing list. She is now uo to 8 different species.

She added this creek chub to her list.

She also caught this longear sunfish.

I didn't catch any new fish species. However, helping her achieve her goals is just as important and I enjoy the time with her on the water. We did find a small pool that held a bunch of darters with several males in their breeding colors. I didn't have any tiny flies small enough to catch these fish, but the waterproof camera was able to get these shots. Best I can tell from the coloration is that these are Orangethroat darters.
