Carp heaven of the day - Flyfishinglover - 08-29-2014 The only thing I'm going to say is that I caught this monster today after being skunked there 2 times this year in a row and looks like 3rd time was the charm []. Took me about 30 minutes to get this pig in. [inline "26.5 in carp1.jpg"] [signature] Re: [Flyfishinglover] Carp heaven of the day - flygoddess - 08-29-2014 That is thick!! Oh and it was 15 minutes after you left tonight.[] [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Carp heaven of the day - Flyfishinglover - 08-29-2014 Last time 10 min now 15 min. I'm guessing the following time will be 20 min. Did you get it netted or it was another LDR??? [signature] Re: [Flyfishinglover] Carp heaven of the day - flygoddess - 08-29-2014 To the net. Would be nice to have my grand boy net it....[laugh] [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Carp heaven of the day - Flyfishinglover - 08-29-2014 Ya I know it would be nice but you need to catch one when I'm there not when I leave [] Thank you fly fishing grama for teaching me more about carp fishing on a fly rod [angelic] [signature] Re: [Flyfishinglover] Carp heaven of the day - southernbass - 08-29-2014 What's a good fly to use I never went for them before but I want to.I have caught one on the Weber before though.tomorrow taking kids to Utah lake tomorrow was thinking about trying for them [signature] Re: [southernbass] Carp heaven of the day - flygoddess - 08-29-2014 At Utah Lake I would try Buggers. A Captain America is good. I caught them on a #12 Bead Head Prince Nymph and a Type II line out of Utah Lake, as well as White Bass. For the river, we were using a popcorn ball by RAINY about 24" under a thingamabobber.

Mark [signature] Re: [MBM1969] Carp heaven of the day - flygoddess - 08-31-2014 Sorry, so many people referred to it by that name, I know it as the Midnight Fire. It is a black chenille with red, blue, gold, flash in it. Here is picture except this is the counter balance pattern, the regular bugger pattern works great. [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Carp heaven of the day - CoyoteSpinner - 08-31-2014 Picture didn't post. I was going to guess it was Red White and Blue - maybe a big shiny shield? Didn't mention the Dog Biscuit or San Juan worms? Some of the carp puddles in the sloughs - seems like green muck would work, with the right placement. Got my heavier tippet ready, Is a thingamybobber a real name, or just what you call a thing-a-my-jiggy? I got this collections, still need to wet a few more (oh, and learn how to cast!): [inline "Carp Flies.jpg"] Re: [CoyoteSpinner] Carp heaven of the day - flygoddess - 08-31-2014 [quote CoyoteSpinner]Picture didn't post.
