I hope to add a few new species to my fly fishing list this year.

Congratulations on the crappie!

I usually catch a few out of the local lake each year, but they are small. Pick up an occasional catfish, too. The catfish are always fun - like trying to pull a bulldozer in! Not a spectacular fight, just a constant resistance all the way in. They are all fun on the fly rod!
