Carp...
...on cicadas!!! I've been on the Caney for the past couple of days and likely to get out again another day or two in the near future. The cicadas are on but definitely winding down now. All this time I thought trout fishing was a blast, but now I sort of understand why some people get all excited about carp. These fish were chowing down on cicadas on the lower river. Here is one picture of a 30 inch carp caught during a float with David Perry. Lots more to come over the next few days so stay tuned for more on the cicadas and the big browns, rainbows, and yes, carp that are tearing them up.

Nice fish man. I have been meaning to target those guys but never have. I hear that they are a ball on the fly rod. Cant wait to see what else you caught. Nice work.

DANG! Did you weight that toad?
ReplyDeleteGreat looking fish there, David. Those bad boys sure are fun and put a great bend in the fly rod. Nicely done.

ReplyDeleteI know that crap was a hoot on the fly----but I must tell you carp have to be the ugliest fish on the planet. Thanks for sharing
Holy Carp!
ReplyDeleteWhat a piggie. Are those river carp as slimy as their pond dwelling family members?
Gotta try that on the fly sometime. Thanks for sharing.
David,
ReplyDeleteGreat-looking carp, and on a dry fly no less! Some folks give carp a bad wrap, but they are big, strong fish, and usually more difficult to fool than trout--nice job!
