[Status Report?]

I'm hoping to do some fishing at the zinc dam weekend after next. Has anyone been down there lately? Catching anything?

I have recently taken an interest in targeting carp with my fly rod. I have read a lot about fishing lake flats for them and was wondering if anyone knew of flats on Lake Tenkiller and Fort Gibson, accessible by land, that could be waded. Preferably on the north end of tenkiller and the south to southeast side of fort gibson.

Thanks. I do have plans to check ou the Arkansas river in Tulsa this summer. I do fish the upper illinois very regularly it is just so heavily used during the summer that i wanted to try and find some other options.

[Anyone Fishing?]

I fish alot of carp in the summer on Tenkiller , lots of fun and a real challange . I agree that water clarity is a big issue as carp will seldom move-to or chase their prey far from where they are tailing . On tenkiller I use a black krystal wooley bugger and leading the fish by a few feet I cast past the fish and retrieve untill in front of the fish. From there I'll let the fly drop to the bottom and wait for the tailing carp to swim close to where the fly fell. Start a very slow,steady, crawling retrieve at this point and if you feel any pressure on the line lift your rod . If you hooked up then hang on if not then try again .

Where on tenkiller do you fish? Are you using a boat?

I live in tahlequah and have been looking for new places to chase carp.
