Just moved to Fresno, lets get this forum going!!! - TheGrovBone - 04-21-2011 Hey guys! I just moved from Southeastern Idaho. I'm looking for all the info I can muster about fishing in the central valley! I'd love to get this forum really active - these can be such a great aide. I know I loved the Idaho forum. Does anyone on here fish for carp?

Wouldn't mind catching a carp on a fly, but so far no luck. Living in Fresno you have a lot of places for great fishing than we do here in SOCAL. Good luck in you new home.[/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Just moved to Fresno, lets get this forum going!!! - TheGrovBone - 04-22-2011 Thanks! Carp on the fly is INCREDIBLE. I have been thinking lots about venturing down to socal for some mako fly fishing. Have you done it at all?

They will eat a fly, but you may leave frustrated if everything doesn't go right. It may not be your style, but you could troll the fly for a better chance of finding the fish. Something like this would work- FPF Green Mackerel[/url] Single hook fly. Comparatively easy to cast.

If you want to make it really fun, go out on a kayak. [signature] Re: [TheGrovBone] Just moved to Fresno, lets get this forum going!!! - Tkefish - 04-26-2011 Welcome to Fresno. There are tons of places to fish around here. As for carp I do not fish for them (at least on purpose) but I see tons of them around when fishing for bass so it should not be to hard for you to find a honey hole or two. There is one close spot in a small pond off the river near Woodward park that I see huge ones all the time. I mainly fish for bass around here but I will go catfishing and chase some trout once in awhile. If you need some pointers for some locations let me know. I am going to try my luck at the delta this weekend but for the most part I usually will not travel more than 40 min out of town and i usually fish from shore. I can help you with a lot of spots locally.
