 Lightly rained a good part of Saturday in StL.  Between that and the cooler temps, I hoped the fish would be active and hungry the next day.  Maybe if I was any good at flyfishing, I'd have caught more. 😁  

I only caught 12 fish...but 8 species. 

Here's some:

Freshwater Drum:

29" Shortnose Gar:

Common Carp:

Largemouth Bass:

A smaller Shortnose Gar:

Yellow Bullhead:

A spot-free Channel Catfish:

A Warmouth:

And some Bowfin:

Saw other stuff while fishing...eagles, hummingbirds, goldfinches, white herons, great blue herons, frogs, turtles, snakes, butterflies, flowers...a B-29 that flew over twice.
