Ham Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 20) Golden Shiner so Snakehead, Bowfin, and Spotted Gar were trolling me pretty hard. I got bites and finally hooked a snakehead that jumped and immediately threw the frog. but a saw groups of small fish dimpling the surface. I was confident they were NOT the usual top minnows and I thought there was a chance they might be Golden Shiners. I had to do extensive re-rigging to come up with a way to throw a size 24 with a tiny bit of worm at them. I had to hook a bunch of them before I got one to hand. Sadly, they were on the small side which made it more difficult. So, then I had to rig up my 6 wt and go through multiple fly boxes looking for a small fly enough to get eaten. Again, it took too much time and aggravation, but I finally got one to hand. not the first time catching Golden shiners on fly, but I was Glad to get it done. trythisonemv, FishnDave, grizwilson and 4 others 7 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.

Ham Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 25) Spotted Gar I guessed Shortnose, but my son noted mottling on the top of its head. I turned it over to the fish nerds and so far, ppl think it is a Spotted Gar. This may still change sight fished. He ate immediately. I stuck him and he jumped and threw the fly. He dropped down in the water column a little bit and I blind casted right back to where I last saw him and he ate again. Decent fight before I could drag him up the mud bank.
