Orangespotted Sunfish on a Fly!

I caught some very small orangespotted sunfish many years ago.  I've wanted to catch on on a fly rod, and hoped it would be larger and a colorful specimen.  It finally happened today!  Pretty excited about this:

Only fished for a few minutes, also caught a small Redear Sunfish:
These aren't very common near me in central Iowa, so it was cool to catch one today.

Speaking of unusual fish to catch on a fly rod, I caught my first Channel Catfish of the year while fly fishing last week.  I know channel cats have more spots when they are little, and gradually lose them as they grow....but this one had a LOT more spots than typical:
