I fished the area at the Joe Crighton access for a couple of hours today. I didn't catch anything despite throwing a variety of soft plastics and some jigs . I did see a few largemouth, one of them in the 16"-18" range. What are the best lures to be using this time of year? Tight Lines! ~Luke

Finally Landed A Carp On The Fly.

Nice! -
I like Rusty Midges where the size 18 body is tied on a size 16 hook. I fish them very close to the top, maybe 6"-15" under the smallest possible indicator I can get. I like cutting a palsa indicator in half and using that. Just cast a foot or two in front of some midging trout and let it drift to them. Good Luck!

Great!

I found a tarantula thing in my basement. Creepy stuff. I hope you get better soon!
-
I completely agree. It came out of my neighborhood pond.

The tarp worked as an improv net. It was kind of like the scales they use in tarpon tournaments. Tight Lines! ~Luke

Others will frown upon me but I am no fly fishing purist. For the catfish, I throw dogfood in the water and then once I see a couple of the catfish coming up to the top, I cast out my dogfood fly. It is simply a piece of brown foam tied to the hook in the shape of dogfood. Also, the tarp scenario was actually what happened, he refused to be landed by hand . He was released safely back into the abyss

Would lead dumbell eyes york better than bead chain?

The fly you use depends on the river you are fishing. Read some reports for that river and you should get a good idea of what flies to use. Good luck!

Very nice looking flies!

I enjoyed it, I had an extremely similar experience with a grass carp.

A couple have been caught in the Mississippi River Basin, a few I them were diploid or assumed to be fertile and one was triploid or assumed to be sterile. Their food source is mainly snails and mollusks which are abundant in some rivers so I would think that if they could reproduce fast enough, they could quickly spread like some of the other carp species in the U.S.

Ok, Wikipedia has given me an answer. These carp are known as Asian carp to us. Eight Asian carp have been substantially introduced outside of their native ranges: grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) common carp (Cyprinus carpio) silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) largescale silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys harmandi) bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) common goldfish (Carassius auratus) crucian carp (Carassius carassius) mud carp (Cirrhinus molitorella)

Yes they are. I think Snap is referring to the silver carp that are known for jumping at the sound of motors and boats,commonly injuring the occupants inside.

Silly me, I'm not supposed to post this here.

The ponds do have triploid grass carp, I have seen them before. This is the second bighead carp they have pulled out of this certain pond
-
Haha! No, it was dead, they found it floating in the water so they pulled it up onto shore. It does look pretty beat up though.
