3. Other fishies I have caught on flies so far this season

Here's some of those warmwater fishies I am so fond of, some from downstate and some from around here. None of them are very big but hey, you gotta start somewhere, especially after a long, cold, hard winter.

Wow, that's a beast of a pumpkinseed!

Well, he was fat, but I've caught bigger. I pulled a 9-incher out of the lake I used to live on in the West Branch, MI area (about an hour west of where I am now), fly fishing too. They bend the rod over pretty good! Almost as pretty as a brookie, too...

Jonathon

lots of different species for you,s over there, im jealous haha. for me its mainly the browns grayling chub and dace from the river and mainly rainbow and smaller portion of browns from resorvoirs and lakes

Flyman, the diversity of fisheries in my part of the world (northern lower Michigan) is just outrageous, and most if not all of them can be caught on flies if you know where, when, how, and what to use. Come visit us sometime and we'll set you up!
