Everything eats grasshoppers

here's six different species caught on the fly rod and grasshoppers today and I think there was a drum too. New post on my blog with lots more pics.

Very nice!

Dang! Looks like it was a good day.

Congrats on a great day!!!

hard to beat a guadalupe bass on the fly rod

Yes sir, they are great bait. Used them with a cork when I was a kid, small pond frogs worked too, but Hoppers are easier to catch!

That a pretty god day of fishing with a bug.

Thanks men. This reminds me, I honestly got confused on a couple of the bass, spotted or Guadalupe. The large mouth are obvious I guess. So ID the two up top and this one.

good job.Did you eat them.?

Where was this?

Grasshoppers were always the testers when I was a kid roaming the county. When we found a tank we would chunk big yellow hoppers in an see how long it took them to get hit. If the hopper made it to the bank then there was no use bringing the rods out there.

Looks like an awesome day. And I really enjoy you blog.

Ditto

Not this time.

Brazos below PK

Well played.

Fox, coyotes, snakes, lizards, all kinds of birds . . . They are a high protein meal for many species.

Great pictures, I bet everyone of those fish was a blast on the fly rod. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a blast. I guess carp aren't just bottom scum feeders.

ID on the bass appear to be white, Guadalupe & largemouth in that order.

GREAT JOB.

The one after the carp is a smallmouth.

You can't see it but it has red eyes and I thought it was a small mouth too, and the one that looks like a large mouth but does not have a large mouth I thought was a Guadalupe. I didn't keep them so guess it don't matter but I thought I knew what I was catching but realized I didn't.

Smallmouth have red eyes sometimes

I think it takes a biologist to differentiate between Spotted Bass and Guadalupe Bass. The two shown are not Largemouth Bass.
