My brother and I decided to head out to a little stream today which usually fishes well after a good rain. Well, it didn't disappoint us. It fished REALLY good today, but most of our catch consisted of bluegills, pumpkinseeds, green sunfish, crappie, and even a little bass!! Don't know what's up. Other than today I think I caught a total of one panfish(a green sunfish if I remember correctly) total there, and today they were in just about every nice sized hole from about where we started to where we ended which was a total of 2 miles. Maybe a pond flooded over in the headwaters? Who knows. Last time I fished it was earlier this summer and there were no signs of any panfish then.
Despite the tons of small panfish, the trout are doing fine. The stream was a lot lower and clearer than I was hoping for, but we made it work. Caught a bunch(mostly dinks like the second pic, but some decent ones too) and lost/missed/spooked just as many including ones that would be happy to eat some of the smaller sunfish. Water temp was 58.
Just an odd day today...
