I should be a little more foot loose and fancy free this year. 2 hours ago, Ham said: im gonna take a beating on some of the other goals You're focused on the 100 species on fly thing again, right?

FishnDave Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 On 1/2/2024 at 8:21 AM, FishnDave said: Hm. My list is suspiciously similar. 1.) Northern Sunfish on fly 2.) Northern Snakehead on fly - DONE! 3.) Striped Bass on fly - DONE! 4.) Alligator Gar on fly - DONE! 5.) Musky on fly 6.) Rio Grande Cichlid on fly - DONE! 7.) Blue Catfish on fly - DONE! Catching any two of these will help me reach my goal of: 8.) 100 U.S. Freshwater Fish on Fly. - DONE! #2, 3, 4, 6, and 7.... Are "goals accomplished" thus far.... ALL because @Ham researched locations and put us on those fish. He certainly deserves a great deal of the credit for all of those... and he also gets credit for encouraging me enough to put in the windshield time to go fish with him!

Johnsfolly Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I can't believe that it is Aug and the year is 2/3 over🙄. I was able to recently check two more of the boxes for my 2024 goals. Caught a Chesapeake Logperch up in PA. This was a new darter species putting me one new darter from completing that goal. It also is #15 Lifer for 2024 just leaving me 4 more to hit my goal of 19 lifers for the year. I have been pushing my daughter who currently has 27 lifers caught in 2024 with a goal of three more. #26 for Livie - a cutlip minnow which is one of my favorite minnows. #27 for Livie Finally a clearnose skate Not a Lifer but Livie's first rainbow darter in Maryland BilletHead, Hawg, FishnDave and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishnDave Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Knocked another one off the list! Caught my Flyfer Northern Sunfish! Drove 8 hours (round trip) on Saturday. Caught a dozen or so. That completes this list on fly (which doesn't include the recently separated Longear species): Johnsfolly and BilletHead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have to make a 2025 goal😉😁 FishnDave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnsfolly Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 3 minutes ago, FishnDave said: Let me know if you need a spot. Are there some in your area? Thanks Dave. Sent you a text. Closest to us would be in OH. Anywhere from 7 to 8 hours one way. That whole Appalachian mountain range is a great divide for fish distributions. Though there are northerns found in the northern section of New York or Canada probably due to the St Lawrence River. Still about 8 to 9 hours from us. Though a trip up that way could lead to lifers like central mudminnows, a couple of stickleback species, redside dace, northern redbelly dace, round goby, rudd, lake trout and northern pike 😉 FishnDave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
