Tuesday after work (I work from home), I joined in the St Louis rush-hour traffic to try and squeeze in a couple hours of evening fishing. My target was Orangespotted Sunfish, from a spot I had caught them in April. Water levels have been high since then, but were only @ 3.5' higher than April now. Fishable.
Sadly, I did not catch any Orangespotted Sunfish. Nor Green Sunfish, Bluegills, Hybrid Sunfish, or Longear Sunfish....all of which I've caught there in the past. Perplexing. Where are they?
There were 2-3 small current seams, and at each one, I found fish. I ended up catching 4 Common Carp, a Freshwater Drum, a Bigmouth Buffalo, a little Channel Catfish, and a Shortnose Gar.
Some really good fighters in that bunch! Had my 6wt fly rod bent over pretty good!
