sorry  for being MIA  guys  but i  have  been  having somewhat a  family  er  and  computor  problems  to boot ...

i been hitting all my normally  good  spots  with little  to no luck  so the  other  day i  was  walking the  bridges  in fulton  enjoying a  stop at  d&d  ...as a kid i enjoyed looking over at the water  and somethings time doesn't change ...i was surprized at what i seen  in the shallow water  1000's  of  carp  ...so i  watched  them and  noticed  they  were  setting up in feeding lanes  like  trout  would! see a  big  rock  and  20  carp  behind it  ,,,i  watched and  seen them  move  qwickly  and  knew they  were  feeding , yesterday  i  went  across the  lock  and  walked  over  to the  fast  shallows  with the  fly  rod  and  weighted  nymphs  ......i had  one of my best days this year  no compitition  unlimited big fish and perfect water .... i landed 3 carp  lost 2  others   none were big  but they were  fun i seen alot of sheephead too  but i never  got one to take  ....  thanks  mr carp for a great work out and a fun  morning ...

how about that  derek  jeter    what a great  game  and  a  great way  to  say  good bye to the  fans at home ...thank you  for  20  years  of  fun

It's ironic that he plays his last game in Boston.

I was on the backyard stream a while ago and having no luck at all. Water was very low and gin clear. I got to one of the carp pools and there was a pod feeding in the headwaters. Tossed all of my go to flies at them with no interest at all.

So I waded across the stream and up to the corn field where the farmer generously donated an ear of field corn. After cutting some corn off the cob and chumming, I stuck a couple of kernals on a Clouser and tossed it out. Hooked up with 4 and landed 3 on the 3 wt with 4x tippet. One was pushing 10 lbs. What a hoot!

Adapt, improvise and overcome

RG  earlier  i  found  carp like  gulp alive  waxies  too    i just rode my bike over the north bridge (lower)  looked  down  and  it's  invested  with  carp  and  sheepheads ...thinking  i'll try a  crawfish pattern see if that works to  entice those sheephead to  play .....i checked my marina and i couldn't see a gill anywhere .....this is  depressing .......  ps  this old fart is  averaging 7.5 miles aday   cycling and walking .... i should be in decent  shape  for bow season and walking on ice


and dack  that was  a goodbye in  jeter  fashion ......  last  game   agaist the  the  sox  ....... i love  it

i been  peddling my  wrinkled  buttock every day  for about a month  ....now my idea  was i  could  use  my  mtn bike  to  bow  hunt on  state trails  here  in NY  and  in PA ,the second benifit is  it has improved my breathing and endurance ,i'm really glad i started  this ...i suggest ever old fart check with thier doctor and start some  exercise ...when i first started i was peddling a few blocks  ..amaxing how fast you  build up ....i'm no health  guru but i feel better and i know i will be able  to walk further this year    plus  when fish won't bite it's  fun ....good luck on those salmon  KP  and  JR  KP

It's the only part of fishing you have control of Trapper. Keep at it. I still run 5 or 6 mornings a week. Gotta keep the wheels rollin' 

Don't let those kids get the better of you KP. Have fun!

trapper...

Where do you hunt PA?... Just curious. My wife has suggested that we invest in mountain bikes for each of us. I don't mind walking, but I think I'd enjoy the bike more and I could stand to lose some more pounds. I quit smoking near 5 years ago so my breathing and stamina are much better already. There a few long streams near my home like Pine creek (Tioga Co.) and Schrader creek (Bradford Co.) that have access by bicycle or shoe leather only. Any suggestions?

well the  water  got raised  a bit and  now i can't get to my  carp and sheep head , anyways it was  fun for a few  days ...tomorrow i'll be in the  tree stand  instead of a fly rod ...i think ,still i can't help but wonder why the fishing turned so poor lately  ...... rat  you might not do  7 miles  but i  bet  you have more endurance then most!  just start walking slow (after  your  doctor ok's  it)  it really is making me feel better  i'm breathing better and less aches and pains  my endurance  is alot better and i think my outlook is too ....  now i need fish
