The Fish Dog sent us this disapatch and picture of fellow guide Karl Wiexelmann with a bowfin buck in full spawning mode.
Karl is an Erie, PA, based fly fishing guide, all walk & wade- Scott Pro, Patagonia user. Steelhead 9 months of the year, with warm water in May, June, July. Has a very interesting program of fly fishing for bowfin. The males get a bright lime green coloration on their fins during spawning. They look like something out of Jurassic Park and you can get them to eat a fly.
