Under the bridge

With the water temperature rising (about 57 deg F now), the fish have moved back into the Yahara from Lake Monona. I spent the late afternoon by the first bridge, seeing what there was to see and enjoying the weather. The water is very clear, and I was able to see quite a few different species of fish:

Largemouth bass (caught 1)
Rock bass (caught 1)
White bass (saw near the bridge)
Bluegill (saw all over)
Carp (saw all over)
Freshwater drum (saw near the bridge)
Logperch (caught 16)
Muskie (saw by the opening of the lake)
Green sunfish (caught 1)

I took the rock bass and a couple of the logperch home for the aquariums. As of this morning the rock bass is doing fine in the big tank with the other sunfish and bass, and 2 of the logperch are being quite active in the darter tank and ate bloodworms that I feed to the darters.
