sk_usagi Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I caught my first (and only) mirror last year in July from a creek in St. Cats. At the time i didn't know what a mirror carp was... i thought it was a regular carp and that there was something wrong with it, looked like its scales were coming off. After looking into it i was releived to find out that it was a type of carp and not some funky desease Love the colour on them, very pretty... well, now that i know it wasn't sick -usagi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I catch about one a every 2 years Not very big but i caught a few. I`ve seen a huge one swimming around but would not bite. I love the way the mirrors look, much better looking then your standard carp, if you can say that haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammercarp Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Nice mirror Usagi, really great colours. My favourites are the fully scaled mirrors of which I have only caught one. They remind me of someone in bronze armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Congrats on the catch...I'm surprised you didn't have the camera...In all the times we fished together, you were my net and camera guy I remember my first mirror carp. It was a fully scaled mirror, black in colour and each scale had a silver lining to it. Like DSN, I didn't have the camera. I usually get 1 every couple of years. Before the carp die-off in the Kawarthas, my dad used to get at least 1 per year there. A few mirrors that I managed to take pics of From earlier this year From a couple years ago From a time before I owned a digi-cam...Scanned this one A baby mirror - about the size of a Kleenex box. Caught lots of mirrors around this size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
