You don't see too many fly caught suckers.

I hope you see more. I have plans (or maybe hopes and dreams).

Such cool fish!  I like that they can eat a pretty big fly.  Drag. Peelers.

They have a Big Mouth for sure and are cannibalistic so the little guys have to watch out for their cousins, but I’m not sure about them being drag peelers , Lol.

9) Striped Shiners

another aggressive predator. I saw an occasional rise and stripped my fly down and across. I got a lights out bite pretty close to me.

Case in point from Roaring river a few years ago. The little guy swam off, but not sure that he made it.

We like fishing sculpins😁. Though a lot tougher out this way. The species out here are much smaller and more timid.
