fly rod Carping the Jordan

[fishskibum]

well its an odd addiction
like most addicts id advise not startin
jordans tough access to throw, limited vis, lots of lumber, shopping carts etc and game enders
supped most of it theyre in there
i like 2700ish but its pretty well full of weeds last i checked and  always goat head haven

used to wade fish a bit along thanksgivin point but its a long walk in since the rail road shut down access from the i15 side
I fish the bear in the nwr more than the jordan as its got more targets with better elevated clearer  banks

but 100 buck fillups been limitin that
fished well a couple weeks ago

if ya wanna cast to em with decent backcast space
deckers
has been my go 2 lately



josh summed most of it up it can be pretty easy at times and frustratingly tough at others
id prefer to fish clearer water and watch em eat and learning to read the body language of the eat takes some time
theres happy poopers and unhappy ones
the unhapppy ones bolt or slink away
and dont eat
happy ones will eat about anything presented in a manner that continues to brings happiness
best advise i can pass along
would be throw less especially to big domers and pods and wait a bit for the best shot
far as flies id prefer to not throw weight and throw a lot of hollow chain eyed crustation stuff
and small barbelled heads in current or need to git down to deeper water fish
but the throw past and drag and drop into their vision vacuums mouth is what most of the kooks i know who spend a good bit of time doin it
and while troots only live in beautiful places
the carp can hang in da hood as well
