Trying to get to 100 lifetime Bowfin on fly... need just 9 more after catching 8 today. Caught some nice-sized ones (and 24.5" female and a 24" male), and some pretty ones. I love the markings on the top one below!
I also caught 3 Common Carp, 1 Warmouth, 2 Green Sunfish, and a Largemouth Bass. While using a tiny microjig for Warmouth, is when I caught the 3 carp and a bowfin, plus everything else besides the bulk of the bowfin. Couldn't see any of those fish, so it was all pretty lucky I suppose. Fine by me! ;)
I also presented a microjig under an indicator to a few Grass Carp that were in a very shallow channel. 2 of them ate the indicator instead of the fly. They are active now, so I should be able to get one or more soon!
Also saw a variety of snakes. And accidentally snagged a large snapping turtle in the tail (released as gently as possible, never had to take it out of the water).
