hawk-eye Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Well I finnaly got to put my beginer fly fishin skills to the test this morning. After working the graveyard shift and arriving home just as the sun was comming up I thought theres no way Im gonna go to bed with that dead wind and a nice little fog rolling over the surface of the river. I am by no means a fly angler but I like to play arround with it once and a while mainly targeting panfish. Knowing there are a lot of carp that like to feed on the surface down the river here I thought this would be a great oppertunity to give it a whirl. As I casted my first fly in front of a passing school I scared the hell outta them quickly learning that carp are easily spooked. Now Ive got to learn to ba a little more stelthy. After a half an hour or so of casting away from the fish to tune my casting a bit I headed back to the fish. Within a couple minutes of trying to steddy the heart rate as they were swimmin arround my fly one finnaly took it. What a blast! Ill be back at this again for sure.

shane Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 WTG! Fly fishing for carp is a good way to practice for wimpier fish like trout and salmon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Good story and nice fish. I've only caught carp on 20lbs spinning setup, I can't imagine the fight they put up against a fly rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
