100 Different Kinds of Fish

For interesting fishing, and one that is perfect for the kids: Visit this spot. Bring your field guide too, because I caught fish that I have never seen before! There are both salt water fish, as well as fresh water fish on the est end. Fly fishing is fun here, because often there is a strong current to play with at the west end. I bring my salt water fly fishing gear, and a light colored streamer works well.

We are always looking for new places and I like that this is in the shade and it’s the easiest place to get to because that means we can fish just me and him. Bass here are smart as can be never can get them to bite. They have a PHD in hook spotting. The blue fill are large, not as hard to get. Lots of sunfish. Bullfrogs and turtles as well.
