Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Another Carp Story

Thank you Jeff.  I think I read where you're using 12/14 which is smaller than what I'm used to using in Colorado for carp.  Anything "buggy" seems to work best for me over the years, esp. a black wolly bugger, which I have caught the most with in the South Platte.  But I've certainly heard of a lot of success with a prince nymph in the canals here, although I've not tried that.  The water has been so muddy and full of debris the times I've tried that sight fishing was difficult, not to mention the casting issues.  Sounds like you've found the all the right angles, congratulations!  Carp fishing does become addictive if not obsessive as compared with bass or even trout.

Thanks, guys. I put together a (long) video from my GoPro of the trip. It's got most of the fish I caught and lost, but there were a couple where there was just nothing good on video, and my first battery died in the middle of one of the fish I landed. Fair warning: I am terrible at video editing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3W-MpNvqtU
