Hey guys,
[cool]Good to be back in with those "in the know." I really fell for the carp on the fly thing. In fact, it has probably hooked me for (the rest of) life. However, I really miss tubing and never did figure out how to combine the two successfully. Carp are just too spooky (when fly fishing, anyway) and you have to be high enough to spot them feeding to get them to take a fly.
Pat, we're seeing some low water here, too. One pond I like to fish is nearly dry. Others are not as low as I've seen them in past years.
Steve, I have found that the trout usually peter out surface wise at about 68 or 69 degrees. However, some places are different and I suspect the strain of trout is also a factor. I know some desert trout can tolerate higher temps.
I'm looking forward to some more tube trouting soon. If and when it happens I'll be sure to post.
