jdangler Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Looks nice, I'm going down there next week, what fly's were working? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpiondeathlock Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 actually its the shitey mo as none of those pics of fish are from the mo. They are from lakes and causeways around that area. here are the pics from the mo flies that were working were pink lightning bug, pink scud, green scud and the worm. but they werent working all that well in the river. For lakes pretty much anything you had under an indicator would work. I never tried the rambo knife pattern though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhuseby Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I think you have a first there, the first golden bone photo on FFC (carp that is). I keep hearing they're a great flyrod fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishpimp Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Nice pics mike! i didnt catch one fish on a pink scud though. dont be afraid to give a big dark streamer a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeppowder Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Pink scuds, can be an excellent producer. There are some very large carp in the Mo. People have started to target them in the heat of the summer when trout fishing can be slow. Hold on tight, I have had several take me well into my backing.

Hawgstoppah Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Carp are awesome. I hit one while nymphing the portneuf (near Pocatello, ID) last year. Huge beasts. I never did land it as I had my 3wt for trout fishing, but the thing was about 40lbs or more... and I base that guess on having caught a 40lb fish just a few weeks before that trip on the Port. Carp would be really fun to target, what do they eat, grass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive caught maybe 6 carp in my life and they have all taken da worm. fun to catch though if you have on beefy enough tippet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
