I don't stalk any particular species of fish... if it swims, I will chase it! I set a goal this spring to catch 3 new fish.. a Pike, a smallmouth and a king salmon. I managed to land all three and a coho and a mirror carp as well. Besides those fish I also target brown trout, largemouth bass, common carp, catfish and sunfish. I fly fish for the brown trout, and that is how my fishing addiction began.
