FishnDave Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 We are about 4 weeks away from the 1/2 year mark. Is everyone's numbers and species up-to-date? Here's what I'm seeing here posted so far: 1. John: 73 species 2. (tied) Ham: 63 species 2. (tied) Livie: 63 species 4. Dave: 27 species I've been more than doubled by everyone, as expected. My species accumulation is going to slow to a crawl or stop soon, I predict. Its been a good year so far, I've no complaints. You other 3 are having great years! Keep it going! 👊 nomolites and Johnsfolly 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have dream of landing one of those koi and definitely a black bullhead. If you drop down your fly size, you can go back to those creeks out by @JestersHK and get a few minnow species or target the gar there. All of the fish that I caught yesterday were from the creek above the ballpark that you know about. I did see a pair of longnose gar yesterday. They wanted nothing from what I presented to them. I know that is a bit longer than you like to travel, but again using the smaller flies you should be able to add a few more species to your listing.

FishnDave Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Yes, I'll catch some more. I suspect I'll get around 35 species for the year. JestersHK and Johnsfolly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smalliebigs Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Instead of counting the number of species I can catch in a year I keep track of the number of bass over 20 inches I can catch out of rivers. This one made my count only go to 4 so far this year, which is fine with me lol Johnsfolly, JestersHK, nomolites and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it going! 👊 Well Dave, 1) You've got the extra hoop of it has to be caught on a flyrod to jump through 2) it's Not a competition. I want to see everyone succeed ; I'm not trying to beat anyone. I just want to catch 100 ( or a lot more) species of fish this year. timinmo and Johnsfolly 2 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.

The numbers are impressive already! You've all have, or nearly have, doubled my best year ever on species! How cool is that?? Johnsfolly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
