I went out after the rain with 4 rods in hand. A suspending bait, a frog, a wacky senko and a tube.

To show for this great effort all I got was a 1 (plus a littel) pounder on the suspending bait and a nice one that jumped and spit me out on the wacky....

Then I saw a couple of carp roaming around the mulberry trees behind my neighbors house. I had recently read some posts about chasing carp so into the garage I go and I tie on a mulberry looking fly on the 8wt practice rod. I walked back and forth between 4-5 houses and finally I saw a couple of them cruising. I go make my cast and some nice folks come out of nowhere so I had to stand down....as the carp noticed me and took off!

After 20 minutes of no shows, I see them again and make a couple of casts but they land in the water too loudly! I need to make a more gentle cast apparently.

Anyway, I did not catch the carp...but I will! Now I know how Khahn felt when he was stalking them a few years back!!     

Then, I looked down and there is a small snake giving me the evil eye. I looked slightly left and there is the reason why...the frog he had just killed and was preparing to devour it.

Khahn- Do it now....those berries are getting sweeter by the day! Let me know when you are coming over and we can set up an arsenal!

I might join you guys. I noticed a couple of Mulberry trees on Beech yesterday during a walk and had the same thought

Question of the Day - What will you fine gents do with the carp once you catch it?

Take a picture and throw it back....unless you want to eat it!

I will post up some carp hunting times a little later. I have asked a friend of mine, who is also obsessed with catching these guys on a fly, to come over and tutor us.

Count me in Ernie....i've been trying to key in on these guys the past three years and would love to hook up with one...

Ernie
do you have a mulberry pattern fly? If I can get some purple yarn I will make a few
