I hiked in a small Dallas creek yesterday evening. I hadn't fished it in a few years. The creek had changed some from floods, I think for the better. Going in I knew there wouldn't be any big fish, but I enjoy doing this type of stuff. Here are a few pics and a video of the Rat Snake I came across. Didn't plan on this, just happened to be in the neighborhood and I only had one fly with me (backpack was at home being reorganized), luckily the fish liked it but wish I had a smaller one, a lot would hit it, but not get hooked.

Local creek fishing is hard to beat. Any of those fish make it to your aquarium?

Chuck- No fish were kept on this trip, but I had my fish transporter with me. Saving room for some Redspotted and Orangespotted, just need to find them. I have one Redspotted still kicking that you caught 2 springs ago. Psalty- I had to include the little guy, respect his attitude. Forgot to mention, click on the last picture for video of the snake trying to touch me.

Yea I kind of figured you only had limited space available for some special fish.

Example Nice one! Side Note: Just like a Longear the Red Spotted are super fighters for their size! They can also hit a bait hard!

Cool post. It's amazing to me how a 5 inch longear can get a size 6 fly in their mouth while an 8 inch bluegill can't seem to manage the task.

Haha- Ain't that the Truth Jamie. Longear have an attitude. I caught one where I walked too close to the nest. It spooked off but couldn't go far cause the pool was small, I casted to it anyway and it bit I love that about them, but it probably helps I'm fishing in places where they don't get any pressure.

Fighting a Red Spotted on a 3wt fly rod is hard to beat! Nice fish.
