2021 Flyfishing Pics

[FishnDave]

I think I will just throw some pics here throughout the year that aren't shown elsewhere on the forums.

Here's a few from April:

Caught my new Fly Rod Personal Best Freshwater Drum.  25.5"

And a few more nice drum:

And a Goldeye that looks like it got chewed on a little:

Glad to catch some fish....better than taking a goose-egg, right?

About that...I did SEE one (a goose egg)...on a rock....under water...

Flyished after dinner last night.  Only caught one fish.

I look at these pictures and I want to wash MY hands....😄

Get some fish slime on your hands...it has antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties.

In my experience, 10" Bluegills are extremely rare.  I once went @ 25 years between catching 10-inchers.

Last week, I caught quite a few really nice bluegills in both Iowa and Missouri....included (3) 10-inchers and a 10.5-incher.  Really awesome, strong fish!

The ones in Iowa... 2 years ago I was catching some 9.5"-9.75" bluegills in a certain place.  Releasing them, I was rewarded with even bigger ones this year.

Green Sunfish

The one above is what I'd call "typical" markings...yellow-edged fins, etc.

The left one below was a little different.  The one on the right below had fins edged in red!  I've seen it before, but not very often.

@FishnDave you're killing it on those gar! I hope to get a chance at a few next week.

@snagged in outlet 3 I'll make sure to wash my hands afterwards 😉
