Lund-SS Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 went down to kill a couple of hours today before my afternoon shift , managed to land 3 carp and missed one more , gotta be quick on that hook set or they spit it , water was super clear but the breeze made it hard to see the fly under the chop on the water heres a couple pictures of a boat that was cruising around the lower river a week back and my dog chasing it haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Real decent looking carp there Jeff .....had to be a blast to catch them on the fly rod !! I believe I saw that ship about a week ago while fishing the lake side . I saw an Olympus camera in a flyer with a 24X digital zoom , that would be handy to get long distance shots of that ship !! pm sent...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lund-SS Posted June 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 smerch the more optical zoom you can get on a camera the better , digital zoom always seems to go blurry on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkEdge Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Bondar, my wife just told me the ship is the Empire Sandy. I'm guessing she's seen it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordy M Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Beauty pics, my first fish using a fly rod was a carp, great fight, an under-rated gamefish in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Paul Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 went down to kill a couple of hours today before my afternoon shift , managed to land 3 carp and missed one more , gotta be quick on that hook set or they spit it , water was super clear but the breeze made it hard to see the fly under the chop on the water Excellent fish. Can you tell me what type of fly you caught these on? Fly fishing for carp is one of the things I plan to do this year, I have the rod 8wt and the reel, but where to start with the fly is my problem. I have heard about bread flies, corn flies and pellet flies, but I would like a more natural approach. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lund-SS Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 wooley buggers if different weights and colours will do the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeler Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 so jealous. I wish i had the money for a fly rod, i couldnt even imagine the excitement of a big carp on a fly. They are fun enough on carp gear, but a fly rod would be so much fun. Nice fish man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
