While spending all my free time on the Jordan river I've been trying to catch carp or suckers and looks like the suckers gave up too say hello too me. Caught one on a peach egg patter and a chartreuse woolly bugger. They bother were in 20-22" class. [:p]
Water level is rising up pretty fast. Went too my big carplet hole and dang it deep. Lets hope some kitties and maybe some walleye will want to play with me.
Hope someone on here doesn't start crying because I caught one on a fly rod ha ha ha.[sly]

I'm sorry but I just don't see the appeal of catching those disgusting fish on purpose? The last thing I would want to do is target a sucker in the Jordan river... What's the appeal?

I'm on the fence here but I have never actually caught one intentionally. I caught a big old sucker on the Weber last year, it was great until I saw what it was. Then again, I would like to catch a huge 22"+ carp on my fly rod. I think that would be a lot of fun again until I see what I have at my feet.
I'm surprised that a sucker would take a woolly bugger, i thought the loved small midge type patterns.

I was using a pretty big egg. I can't think what the size number is but it's not like those small spawning egg patterns you usually fish with.
Are you talking about white bass or smallies/largies bass because white bass should be coming out pretty soon with the warm weather that we will be getting in the 80's by next week.

That is what makes Fly Fishing so fun and challenging. It is sight only. No smell, no taste. So got to have an appealing fly. A little flash can sometimes help this,
If FFL is using an egg the size of the one I gave him it will be a #8.

But seriously, how soon after you took the worm hook out and replaced it with a fly did you take the picture?
(and p.s., just about everyone here has caught a carp and/or a sucker on a fly. I promise, you're not special.) (special ed? Likely.)

The egg pattern that you gave me just came apart after a few days of trying to use it. I used one of my buddies egg pattern that he made.

since you obviously can not take the advice that was given to you in a PM and ignore people that like to screw with you for no other reason than to piss you off, this is your last warning. a post like that will get you banned from this board for over a month.
And dont thin im singling you out, TBD also got a PM

This is rough. As soon as I start to recover from that wicked 3rd degree burn, I get a nasty-gram from a mod.
Woe is me.
