September 12, 2024

Fished in the afternoon.  Hoped for Red Shiners and Orangespotted Sunfish.  I did not catch either.  I did catch some Green Sunfish, Bluegills, a Hybrid Sunfish, and 3 Grass Carp.  One Grass Carp measured 32", which should weigh around 12.75 lbs.






Other things seen while fishing:

Green Heron

This watersnake swam over and hung out near my shoe.

September 2, 2024

Got out on Monday for the first flyfishing of September.

Beautiful day, not too hot.  Breezier than expected at times.

Stepped on a nail that buried into my shoe, but somehow didn't reach my foot.

Saw a Woodchuck/Groundhog swim across the creek.  And a Cicada landed on my hat.

Caught about 20 fish of 7 species.  Here's some of them.
