Hi, I just had a spectacular day of caddis fishing after work I got to my local stream that I helped stock and nobody else was there.In all of just 3 hours I caught and released 18 trout,no real big ones but WOW what a day.Got 3 on a dropper the rest on dries.Had to snip off the dropper so I could skate the caddis across the water ,they hammered it.I lost about 10 others too.Tomorrow we stock again,I don't think theres room in the creek for more.lol.

Wow! Sounds like you have a real honey hole there. Our season is over here, so we are on to crappie and carp and the like.

Thanks flatlander,do you flyfish for carp? I've heard of this,but never tried it.

Some, but not too much yet. I just finished building a flyrod just for carp. I can't wait to try it out. Our local flyfishing club is going to host a seminar on carp fishing on the fly this summer. I'm looking forward to seeing what they have to say about it. There is a ton of stuff online if you do a search on it too.

I know how hard they fight on conventional tackle,so on a flyrod ya better hang on tight.

what type of flies would u use for carp? i thought they were mainly a bottom feeder so i would assume nymphs of some type or maybe a streamere worked slow with split shot?
