Hi All,

I thought the community would find this interesting. I got the idea to create a composite image of fish species to help with ID's from the Crossley Birding ID Guides. I really like his guides and I thought it would be cool to create some composite images to help with fish ID's. I put a couple of composite images in the fly fishing book that I'm working on, but I think I'd like to try and continue taking pictures of the fish that I catch while out fishing. Thought the community would like the image.

I had to make the image a GIF, so it lost some quality. I also had to resize it to make it fit the postable criteria.

This is a Green Sunfish Lepomis cyanellus

Pretty cool.

Do you ever run across Redbreast Sunfish in your area of Texas? I was looking for some when I was down there recently but struck out.

I have! I have found them on the east side of Sam Houston National Forest, as well as in tribs on the northeast side of Lake Livingston. They are a sunfish that isn't native to Texas, but a beautiful one all the same. They are a fun fight on the fly rod.
