Fresh fish

While throwing streamers near the rocky dam of one of our local lakes in search of striped bass hybrids (a pursuit about which I hope to have more to say soon), I picked up two new species on the fly this week:

Channel catfish (they do a fair bit of open-water predation on smaller fish in addition to scavenging; this one hit a shad imitation).

White perch (initially mistaken for white bass; both are freshwater congeners of the striped bass).
