Cinqo de Mayo:
Got out after work. Caught some fish, including 3 Grass Carp. The last one was the biggest (30"), caught as light was fading. It was feeding amongst some rocks along the opposite shoreline. I cast out in open water behind it...and it turned, swam out of the rocks and dove down to the fly and ate it!
Saturday...I got a late start, as I couldn't decide where to fish. Finally decided to drive 5 hours round-trip to fish for 3 hours. Was home well before dark! :)
Caught Largemouth Bass, Bluegills, Green Sunfish.... the highlights were Redspotted Sunfish, Longear Sunfish, and (new to me) Blackspotted Topminnow.
Sunday:
I tied some flies for a friend, then had some time to kill before picking my wife up from the airport...Hadn't really planned to fish...plus it was 90 degrees. But I went anyway.
Caught 3 more Grass Carp, a hybrid sunfish, and my first (and little) Channel Catfish of the year. Brings my 2023 Fly Rod Species List to 58 species! Best year ever!
