species on the fly
This is a spinoff of Norm289's post. Lets see how interesting this gets. Guys, name all of the species you have caugh on fly rod, using flys. I am fairly new to fly fishing so my list is not that impressive, but I bet a few of your's are. Here's mine Bluegill crappie pumpkinseed Redear yellow perch largemouth bass sauger carp steelhead rainbow trout brown trout brook trout coho salmon chain Pickerel several species of chubs/shiners etc... Lost a big king the only time I tried for them with the fly, but doesn't count. Would love to try for pike/musky on the fly as well as any saltwater fish, just haven't had the chance to do so yet. The local one that is eluding me should be easy, the smallmouth, haven't caught one yet.

I've caught some of these species on a bunch of different patterns, so I'll just name the first one that comes to mind. They're not all from this year, unfortunately.
1. Steelhead Rainbow Trout- Olive barred zonker streamer
2. Rainbow Trout- Prince nymph
3. Brown Trout- Yellow and brown bucktail streamer
4. Brook Trout- Yellow and brown bucktail streamer
5. Smallmouth Bass- White foam popper, various colors of clouser minnows
6. Largemouth Bass- Olive damselfly nymph
7. Northern Pike- White foam popper
8. Walleye- Orange and white clouser minnow, orange zonker
9. White Crappie- Olive damselfly nymph
10. Bluegill- Prince nymph, olice damselfly nymph
11. White Sucker- Prince nymph, isonychia nymph
12. Emerald Shiner- Hard body ant
various chubs and minnows.
I hope to add freshwater drum, catfish, and carp in the near future.

Nice stuff guys. Just this year alone I have caught a few firsts on the fly. Here is my list of fly caught fish. Trout(bows,brown, brook, tiger and palomino), bass(largemouth,smallmouth and hybrid striped bass), panfish(sunfish, bluegill, pumkinseed, crappie and yellow perch), catfish, carp,suckers,creek chubs, pike,walleye, sauger, salmon(king, coho, atlantic, and kokanee). Still need to catch a musky and I have yet to venture into the salt.

I don't have a huge variety of species on the fly, preferring to concentrate on trout for 90% of my fishing, but I can add one to the list:  Flounder
