Trouble Finding Carp

[BilletHead]

                  I hope you find some @worstfishermanalive,

   We at one time had a resident carp expert here. I won't mention his name but you can go back and find his posts for some guidance. I won't mention his name for fear he will show back up. I have caught my share in the past by just digging up a oil can of river worms and sat my rear on a five gallon bucket on the local river, backwater or slough. Caught enough to get tired or reeling them in that way. I do not chase them anymore unless I see one to sight cast to. I catch a few when fishing for other intended targets to keep me happy. A couple weeks ago went pan fishing at a public lake. While fly fishing fishing for these         One of those pesky channel cats slammed my dragonfly nymphs.        Then a few stinkin bass including a 15 incher did the same. Found more bluegill under some overhanging tree limbs. By then I had to change to a small woolly booger and skip it under those limbs. Go figure this thing was under there and took the booger. Thank goodness it went out to open water instead of staying in the brush. Long story short they are everywhere and I am sure you will find them,

Thanks I appreciate everyone’s input it helped a lot just to get me thinking of where they might be and how to find and/or attract them. The Ouachita is crazy high out here right now so I’m going to start looking for smaller lakes around where I work in Camden and hopefully find some luck.
