JPP Dam 6/3/13 and Fish ID
 

Headed down below JPP today. I actually was going to grab the waders and wade down the stones, but I never left the dam area.

I was very surprised when my first cast yielded a 15" rainbow. I really would have thought that they would have all been gone by now. But I managed just over 20 rainbows tonight in a few hours. All 13-15"ers too! It was pretty neat, just about all of them I sight fished. I would see them slowly swim buy, I would pitch my TM about 3 ft in front of them and they would ferociously attack it! They still fought very well and were very aggressive. I was very surprised! Also caught about 50 gills, all small but a handful of them, a few small crappie with one 11 incher, a few whites, a few yellow bellies, a drum, a skipjack, and this thing I posted a pic of. I am very disappointed the pic is not clear. It looked clear on the viewfinder. But what is this????

Fun afternoon!!

I just looked it up in the Tennessee Fish Guide....its a logperch. Never heard of it. Cool!

Good deal on the fish! I have never seen or heard of a logperch either.



Regards

It looks like a stickleback to me.

Log Perch, I will tell you my history with log Perch one day. Kinda like a Trout magnet report and Stevie Ray Vaughn Song!!!!

good deal

WHAAAT??? LOL, looking forward to it!

Right on Merv !!! <'TK><
 

Good thing the trout are still there because the Caney sure isn't giving much wading windows. I would have thought they'd be gone from there by now too.
