I've had to touch all sorts of nature to get my fly back. I've shaken hands with many trees, shrubs, weeds, grass....sticks, logs...ducks, frogs, muskrats...rocks...even fish on rare occasions. Flyfishing is so immersive...it's just batty!. Johnsfolly, Quillback and nomolites 3

Johnsfolly Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 JF 15) Fallfish, Semotilus corporalis, related to Creek Chubs and the first of many today on white/chartreuse trout magnet timinmo, Quillback, Ham and 1 other 4
Johnsfolly Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Livie 13) Fallfish, probably her PB for this species. Also on White/Chartreuse TM Ham, FishnDave, Quillback and 1 other 4
Johnsfolly Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Livie 14) Eastern Mudminnow, Umbra pygmea and a lifer. Livie scouted out the creek downstream from where we were catching the fallfish and found a small pool with what she thought were darters. Actually much better than darters since this was a species that were found throughout our area but not locally abundant making it hit or miss to find them. Serendipity for sure today ! Ham, timinmo, FishnDave and 1 other 4
Johnsfolly Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 JF 16) Eastern Mudminnow, Umbra pygmea and a lifer for me as well 👍! 2nd one Quillback, FishnDave and Ham 3
Johnsfolly Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Livie 15) Rosyside dace, Clinostomus funduloides. While Livie was putting on the microhooks we used to catch the mudminnows, I found a pool with lots of minnows. I was using a standard trout magnet jig with worm, but could not hook these minnows. Had to put on a TM minijig hook with worm to catch them. Livie caught the first one and said that she thought that they were a bleeding shiner. Quillback, timinmo, Ham and 1 other 4
Johnsfolly Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 JF 17) Rosyside dace, Clinostomus funduloides. My nicest was a breeding male (photos of same fish) FishnDave, Ham and Quillback 3
Johnsfolly Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Livie 16) Flier, Centrarchus micropterus. This is her PB and will be tough one to beat. One of three target species for the day along with fallfish (caught) and warmouth (none seen). I lost one close to this size but it broke off when I beached it with my 2# line . Quillback, Ham and FishnDave 3
FishnDave Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 That's a great day, John! That Rosyside Dace is colorful...and NICE Flier by Livie!! Johnsfolly 1
