Congrats on yet another PB Cliff (geez, i dont' even remember how many times i've said this lol).

Nice report Cliff, that sure is the best way to spend a long weekend despite the tough conditions.

Nice work Berge. We gotta get out for some carp soon! It's probably a bit slow still because of the cold spell we've been getting as of late but it shouldn't be long now.

i think you need to come out and chase some carp with us buddy.

only way to lessen the pain of your so-called STD haha

it's about time you put some new batteries into the alarms and polish up your pod lol.

The markings and colors are just stunning on these fish. I have always wanted to learn how to work a fly combo as well.

Nice job and congrats on catching your first fish on the fly rod!

yeah unfortunately I deep-hooked one and had to keep him along with 2 others for a fish fry, it's in ma belly now and it was awesome.

started off the day with bottom bouncing trout worms, when we ran out a size 0 or 1 spinner worked just as good.

Very nice fish! Must have took you sometime to bring in with 6lb hooklink !

Congrats on a great day out, you seem to be fitting into the area just fine. Thanks for sharing.

Marko gave me a call in the morning and asked if I wanted to go for some trout fishing, I only have 2 hours of class on Weds in the morning, so my answer was ..."Hell yeah!"

Got to the spot at around 5pm and fished till 8ish, we both got around 15-20 browns. They were all small (the biggest was probably no bigger than 12 inches) but it was fun regardless. The bite was on throughout most of the evening, and we even found a hole that was stacked with fish, you could just see them come up and try to get the bait/lure when we cast in there.

Here's one of the bigger ones

I love this shot, wallpaper material and gonna be one of my personal favourites.

I'm still not going to say that carp is ugly but these fish definitely are gorgeous.

Thanks for driving Marko!

That's pretty good for your first report! Have rarely heard of walleye being caught out of the islands, but it's a good thing to see them there i guess!

Welcome aboard!

Thanks for posting it up Marko, i believe that "little guy" is a brookie.

Great catch Jamie! Looks like it must be fun catching them on the yak! Gotta try that someday

You will get a mix of different opinion on this, there are people who absolutely hate carp, thinks that they're trash and will just throw them onto the bank and let them rot, and there would be others who loves them. I try not to be biased when I answer your questions.

Is carp an invasive specie? Carp is not native to North America, it was introduced sometime in the 1800s for the main purpose of food, since they grow big and they grow fast, plus they can survive in adverse water conditions. So to sum it up, it is not native, but it has been here for over 100 years now, and it seems to be getting along just fine with all our other species. Besides, I think Common Carp is NOT listed as an invasive specie on the MNR.

Are they dangerous to our fishery? All of which I have referred to above is Common Carp, however, asian carp is a different story, they ARE dangerous to the fishery and we have to avoid them getting into our waters at any cost. Alot of people get these mixed up so they just think that carp are invasive.

Congrats on the 1st of 09!

The bite has been pretty good at the hammy already, i guess the cold front just turned them off a bit.

Good to see you back denison! That seemed like a good sized fish, it's sometimes hard to tell because I can only reference the size with the piece of maize lol

I still can't believe how fat that carp's lip is.... i guess they all look like that when they do that with their mouth.

It was amazing today, we gotta do it again sometime. They're calling for rain all day tomorrow so I'll have to reconsider on going since I don't really have rain gear with me in res.

iCarp was the guy who's fishing next to Justin.

lol, the reel pouch is the first thing that i noticed as well. Stop using the okuma pouch to protect ur kingpin haha!! Us Okuma users certain don't like seeing that

nice fish bud!

once again this has proved that you do way better when I'm not there.... lol...

Now I remember why I stayed single from September to now lol what did I get myself into.

Nice silvio, now you can save some steelhead for me.

oh my, i miss seeing these reports, thank god!

you call a 26" carp small? Do I really need to repost my 0.5lb-ers? lol!!! Mind you, wolfville's got a local spot where he consistently catches carp as small as like 4 inches long. They are pretty cute when they're that small.

Great jobs guys, i'm sure this is just the first of many more carp reports to come.

WTG, you took some beautiful pics there!

Congrats ryan!

I sense a perfect reason to get an even bigger boat

I think i'm going to equip myself with a gas mask if I do ever get in the same car with you lol. Thank you for the heads up Mike.

geez Silvio, stop posting pics you took in 2007 and pretend that you caught all that fish this year

it's too bad i have to work this week, would have loved to join you guys on the overnight trip, my first few encounters with the steelies on the pin was awesome, I must entice a few carp to take my offering on the pin this year.

Great report buddy, and also thank you for helping me get started. Once the trout season slows lets go get some carp.

A great summary Mike, thanks for posting it and most important of all thanks for guiding me throughout this season, I'm sure my luck will get better next year .

i have never owned one but it doesn't seem that it'd be good to put a motor mount + motor on a kevlar canoe ... correct me if i'm wrong guys ... (i think someone mentioned it earlier as well)

Great job once again! That seems like a nice little creek to fish at. I'm sure it won't be long before your son land his first carp, and don't be suprised if that one is bigger than all of the ones you have been catching
