    Bluegill, walleye, and I have no **** clue... Look how deeply forked the tail is. Orange fins. No idea. It's pretty though.

    I thought green sunfish and two different kinds of chubs. I've never seen an eye that small

    Maybe it is a green sunfish. I don't have many (or any) of those where I fish. The second is definitely a walleye. Look at the fins. The third is a stumper. I am really curious about that one. It's so deeply forked, it reminds you of a catfish tail. I can't think of anything with a tail like that. I almost want to guess some type of trout, but the tail negates that. Very cool pics. Must have been using some very small hooks!

    Fish12, Thank you. That was driving me nuts. I just Googled dace and I found a pic of one that looked almost identical. Very cool.

    Thanks from me too, Fish12.  I caught that dace in a puddle in what was to be a native trout stream in the VA mts.  I thought for quite a while that it was a native rainbow(never saw one,just assumed).  Up close, the tiny sunfish had a lot of similar markings to a pumpkinseed.  The walleye was one of a "cloud" moving through Woodkock(sp) Lake. I will post his big brother's picture shortly.  I guess they went to different schools together.  
    I appreciate the input from you guys. The exchange of info is something new to me.  Thanks!
