GOLD
Trying to recall the events of the past few days have been pretty tough. All that comes to mind are blurred memories of screaming reels and backing runs. A busted a knuckle or two and saying hello to my gel-spun for the first time since the Caribbean. Ah yes, I hoisted a lot of gold..and some calico too...
Day two was pretty awesome. Amongst the carp I got eats from two of the lakes koi which is quite rare. I managed to connect with only one and brought the calico gem to hand. Day three on the other hand was absolutely ridiculous. I was blessed with an epic day on the water. I brought...a lot...of fish to hand, including fifteen fish in the ten pound range. Day four I gave my forearms a rest.
Sad Fish...Haha!

Nice! I was all set to go after carp tomorrow but the weather hosed me. Cold front, rain and clouds moving in...I might chase coho instead, a little rain should get the salmon moving.
Wow ! How many carp in few days, must have been really fun.
Very nice blog btw :)
I am jealous. September has been my worst month of the year, I caught more carp in January! Sounds like some great days with serious numbers and a koi to boot! Any hints for how you are dealing with the transition to fall passivity or are you fish still pretty aggressive there?
some days the X allows a bountiful feast, indeed.
So what flies, sizes and weights are you using to catch these?
John - Thanks, Cohos aren't a bad trade off.
McTage - The fish here are still very active. I'll let you know if I can overcome the transition slump period. It's bound to hit soon.
Chola - A variety of patterns took these fish. From gaudy suckerspawn to more natural dragon & damsel patterns. All unweighted size 10-14.
So many carp. And a calico too! Very cool.....and love the new carp face! It's surely going to catch on, go viral, every carp fisherman from now on will do it. :)
