As of right now (May 29th), I have caught 16 different species of fish on the fly rod for my big year!

Currently, according to The Drake Magazine photo gallery, it looks like I may be in the upper 10% at the moment.

From Tripletail and Redfish to an amazing Tiger Trout and multiple freshwater species, the variety has been great thus far.  I need to knock off a couple more species this weekend hopefully (specifically smallmouth bass, carp, grass carp, and brown trout) in order to hold a firm spot.

Below are a couple of pics that have helped me gain a strong start! Not posting all 16 photos – that’s just too much!

Enjoy
