A flyfishing buddy and his flyfishing wife, from Iowa, both of whom I've fished with before, came down to the Saint Louis area for a weekend of fishing before staying to glimpse the Eclipse in that path of totality a bit further south.
Like me, they are adding species to their flyfishing lists. Both have more than I do. They are just getting into micro flyfishing as well, so we visited a creek I've hit a time or two this year. It was pretty fun introducing them to this creek!
As for what I personally caught... I did manage 10 species on the afternoon, including one new-to-me species. The new species was an Emerald Shiner: (This is one fish...I usually take multiple pics of a suspected new fish, because each pic may offer a different clue that helps identify these small critters.)
I also caught...
Bleeding Shiners:
Blackspotted Topminnows:
Northern Studfish:
Creek Chubs:
Striped Shiners:
Longear Sunfish:
