This photo is of a Red Ear Sunfish that I caught while Fly Fishing at Piru Lake off of the boat launch a little while back. I caught it on a size 14 Bead Head Black Stone Fly. I was fishing a little size 18 prince nymph on the dropper. I was actual fishing for bass and caught this guy, and let me tell you he fought about as hard as any Largemouth Bass I have ever caught on a Fly Rod.
