Johnsfolly Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Still working out some details with my Betterhalf that will affect my final goals. I have a starter list going: 1) Fish for roanoke bass and lake trout 2) Catch at least three species of darter; at least two different species in MD and one lifer. 3) Catch at least 15 lifers with targets of a ) two lifer goby, blenny, and/or sculpin; b) two lifer sunfish; either Lepomis or Enneacanthus (banded) species; and c) two lifer bullheads. Still need to catch a spotted, snail, and flat bullhead. Quillback, JestersHK, FishnDave and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishnDave Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Its good to have a plan. Good things happen when you have a plan. I'm going to play to my strengths and start tracking the trees, bushes, weeds and grasses I catch incidentally while flyfishing. It only counts on a backcast. Can you imagine getting a male AND female Ginkgo tree?? Most people fish their whole lives and never get ONE, much less BOTH genders!! Could life get any more exciting?? j/k I hope to add some new-to-me flyrod species this year. Planning to make some trips to fish with @Ham again this year. Closer to home, I may try to target smallmouth streams more, and quite badgering the Koi, Goldfish, and Grass Carp so much. They are fun, so I will still fish for them. My brother is moving to StL this Spring. He's a widower. His daughter and her family also live in the area. I hope to distract him with fishing, and teach him to flyfish. I should probably get better at it before teaching someone else, right? JestersHK, Daryk Campbell Sr, Ham and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never parked in the driveway when it was dropping fruit. FishnDave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse smelling fruit has to be ginko. snagged in outlet 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
