Re-checked out one area of the swamp for possible fishing areas. Water is really low, and no fish were spotted, except in a large pool, where I saw a gar.
Took a long walk and checked out some other new-to-me areas. I caught 3 bowfin in one small area.
A couple of them had better looking fins than most of the ones I've caught recently.
Finally, I caught one that had an "eyespot" on its tail (male), although it was a bit faded.
At a new spot nearby, I caught a Warmouth (could be a hybrid):
I caught a 4th Bowfin at a spot I've fished before.
While walking between various spots, I saw this big Softshell Turtle. It saw me approach, but didn't run away like most do. I took some pics and continued on my walk.
There were 3 Viceroy butterflies on this pile of dung. One flew away before I took this picture.
I accidentally foul-hooked this large Snapping Turtle in the tail. Fortunately, I was able to free my fly with my rod tip so I didn't need to beach the turtle.
I believe this is a Virginia Tiger Moth caterpillar.
And some sort of katydid.
