RG, rust colored nymphs work great in the same scenario also, I used to chase them on the fly with rust colored partridge nymphs.    Worked really well, even caught them blind casting on it.

we've been chasing the carp too, but a little more laid back style, euro fishing with corn and boilies.

this one was particularly photogenic

Oh, I've caught them on a bunch of different flies. Never had them slam the fly like this Pugh. I did a couple videos today. Just editing them and I'll get them on YouTube.

Went 5 for 6 today. 8 lb maxima with my xxxl heavy furled leader was definitely the ticket.

Went two for four this morning. Had to leave with a thunderstorm riding up my stern.


Used my old Fenwick 6wt. These fish are at or beyond its limits. I'm going back to the 8 wt.

Went 2 for 4 on carp today and caught a good sized channel cat

Never caught a catfish on a fly.

Lol. I guess cats like mulberries too.

It's winding down for sure, but I think I have a couple more outings before it ends.then I'll have to go back to chasing those stupid bass till the stream clears up.

I used an 8 lb fluoro leader this spring off of 10 lb braid and landed 6 for 6 carp with 2 going close to 40 lbs.  Takes some playing them out and sore forearms but they will come.

What was the fly?

Post some pictures.  I am still chasing 30lbs. I can't wait to see what a legit 40lber looks like. I bet it was a brutal fight, especially on that light of gear. Awesome!

how do i post pics?  I have 1 downloaded on my computer but can't find a picture icon on here to upload it.  I was using a black wooly bugger that I tied with a couple mylar wraps for flash since the water was pretty turbid.

They were all caught out of my kayak no less

To post pictures to the site...

1. Upload your pictures to your photobucket account.
2. Resize any pictures you'd like to post to a maximum of 400x600 pixels. Larger pictures distort the forum page and take longer to load. This can be done easily in Photobucket using the "Edit" options.
3. Open your photobucket album and find the photo you want to add. Place your cursor over the picture and a drop down menu will appear. Left click on "IMG Code". (this will copy the photo info)
 4. Go to your post you want to add it to on iceshanty.com, right click and "paste" the info.
(if you copy the image code, it already has the "img" tags on the address and no further action is needed.)

Outstanding!  Talk about a sleigh ride.

I am still chasing 30lbs.

It WILL happen...maybe even Monday!    There's a reason why we bring two scales!
