So So at Echo 7-22-21

I was there on Monday and only caught a few Bass. Your right they can sure pick a worm off faster than you can set the hook. I noticed a lot of carp on the surface when I was leaving at 11:00. I'm heading back up tomorrow. If I get any Bass I might keep a couple for some tacos.

I also noticed a lot of carp on the surface...all over the lake.  A guy with a fly rod could probably have some fun.  The one I caught really slurped that plastic and he stretched my string.

well yeah



Thanks fer the info
figured id take the god and throw the tupperwhare mothership in while we still could
gittin low

got in around 8 a couple dual axeled trailered  wave makers still able to launch
The traditional waterskier boats dont bug me especially if ya aint thunder basing autotoned crap music
As a skier i can relate and respect skill and scantily clad athletic chicks with and displayin it dont hurt my eyes
kneel boarding off the back of a jet ski or the surf wave shizz not so much
i doubt many of em could actually paddle into, stand up and catch a real wave
which takes real skills imo
threw the fullsink and big articulated junk the 1st hour or so for the skunk with a few small bass follows and taps till the sun got high enough to give me vis with the high cloud handicap
rowed down into the shallows at the weeb inlet hoping i could find bottom contrast and cruising poopers
nobody home
bout 10 or so they started showing up mid res
a good mix of pods doubles and a few singles
didnt see any or many over 30
bout 1/2 were in the top foot of the water column
the rest aggravatingly deeper to the point of not being able to see the eat or needing to throw a big enough lead to git a weightless fly down to em
or throw a weighted fly and hope the plop dont make em stop being happy
missed more thans i stuck theyll spit that fly quick and sometimes change directions hoover but not eat
probably shouda went down to 2x
but got a few

bout noon the winds cranked up chopped up the water and they pretty much all disappeared
i aint gots no plans on puttin down my whippy stick till it all freezes again and its time to slide down snow covered mountains
its what we do
and it distinguishes us from the rest of the lebowskis
much like a newfy's gonna newf

Yeah, I was thinking of you when I wrote that.  Glad to see you picked up on it and got at least some reward for your efforts.  Echo has a lot of carp but not as many really big ones as some other waters.  Still, doesn't take one of much size to put a good bend in the whippy stick.
