FishnDave Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 So, again, a HUGE thank you to @Ham for inviting me along on this trip! I ended up catching 25 species for the trip, and 21 were new FLYFERS! That brought my Flyfishing Life List up to 105 species! I just need Alligator Gar in order to complete the U.S. gar list, and Northern Sunfish to complete that list. Really enjoyed the trip!

I don't plan to ever chase those split-offs. I did it for the Bowfin split, though, so obviously I'm not against it.

I do have plans to at some point chase down the split redeye bass species in GA and AL and will likely try for the swampland longear at the same time. I have caught the rio grande longear already. Not sure if the Ozark and Ouachita are viable or accepted species in the long run. Of the original 13 Lepomis I still need the Northern and spotted.

Johnsfolly Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 @FishnDave surprised that neither of you caught any oscars. Did you guys see any? Terrierman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @Ham just forgot to post his picture. They were RARE! We saw maybe 1/2 dozen Oscars total during the trip. And the ones we saw were usually a pair that were guarding fry and would not eat... they'd just back away. Terrierman and Johnsfolly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just going to give you two a big thanks for taking us along on your multi species trip. Great report and pictures. Appreciate it guys.

Ham Posted April 26, 2023 Author Share Posted April 26, 2023 @Johnsfolly No Worries Man, correct a fish ID anytime ; I think that’s the same fish that my wife caught. The Oscar was cool. I saw the pair guarding fry. I was able to get the make to eat a fly. Terrierman, JestersHK, Daryk Campbell Sr and 3 others 6 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.
