Fly Fishing Species 2023

81) Atlantic Silverside 

I struggled to get one this year. It was Easy peasy last year. Hopefully, the last one I’ll ever catch. Excessively fragile. I think every one I’ve ever caught has died on me.

82) Gizzard Shad

I hooked several more on the dropper fly, but the combo of current and them freaking out helped them spot it. 
this guy ate the #10

This is the 2nd post I've seen in the past few minutes that said they weren't able to post pics as usual....thought I'd test to see if it works for me...

Looks like it does.  I'm just posting a URL link to a photo of mine stored on an outside photo-storing site (gifyu.com).

The other day when there was a problem uploading;  links still worked. Must use a different set of gears or pulleys to lift the file right out of a machine.

Good thing I did!  You must have missed it when I posted the same pic on Monday under the 2023 Flyfishing Fish Pics thread. 😄

I know how much you enjoy the fish pictures.

Fish pictures not ROUGH fish pictures😂.   I feel dirty after looking at your pictures.   And I know where you caught some of them.   I threw those boots away  after I went there.   💩

It is my perverse Honor to have taken a well-travelled and accomplished angler to what he said was " the ugliest water" he had ever fished. Lol, it was just another day in my fishing life.

I just got back from Wisconsin and while there, I stopped at one of the many dams along the Wisconsin River.   There were so many dead turtles and fish that my wife got the dry heaves and had to wait in the truck.😂   Turkey vultures freaked her out too.

bummer on the dead turtles. I wonder what killed them. Fish kills below dams I attribute to poor oxygen levels etc., but what took out the heroes on a half shell ?
