I was on a fishing-related forum, and the conversation turned to topwaters. Fish smashing your offering on the surface is always so exciting! I decided to start a list of freshwater fish I've got on topwater lures or flies. Some are species you'd expect, some you might not.
Here's my list:
1. Largemouth Bass
2. Smallmouth Bass
3. Kentucky Spotted Bass
4. White Bass
5. Hybrid Striped Bass
6. Northern Pike
7. Muskellunge
8. Walleye (!!)
(No picture, it was caught on a Pop-R at night while wading near shore at Big Creek Lake, Iowa.)
9. Channel Catfish
10. Bluegill
11. Pumpkinseed Sunfish
12. Longear Sunfish
13. Rock Bass
14. Green Sunfish
15. Hybrid Sunfish
16. Black Crappie
17. Grass Carp
18. Creek Chub
19. Hornyhead Chub
(No picture, it flipped out of my hand as I was getting ready to snap the picture with the other hand. It hit a yellow Blockhead Popper on the Volga River, Iowa.)
20. Rainbow Trout
(This one hit that same blockhead popper! Not your typical "dry fly" for trout!)
21. Brook Trout
.... that's all I can remember at the moment. White Crappie might be on the list as well...I just can't verify that at the moment.
