Conor Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 I had a family holiday in the Okanoggan a few weeks ago. Managed to get out on the Columbia, but didn't find decent access and ended up sight fishing to northern pike minnows in a big slack sections. Pretty fun; I am not sure why they have such a bad rap out there. I also got out for a few hours with Shaggy (from this board and FlyBC) for some bass fishing. We caught a few smallies, and I found this beauty pushing rocks in a foot or two of water. Slurped up a small wooly bugger. http://gallery.flybc.ca/albums/album57/P1010115.jpg I'm afraid Shaggy's net will never smell the same. Quote
monger Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 beauty I hear carp fight well...what was your experience? I have seen some huge ones but never fished for them Quote
Conor Posted August 16, 2009 Author Posted August 16, 2009 This one didn't pull too hard. Shaggy was pretty surprised at how little it pulled, as he has had real battles with them in that lake before. My only other experience with them was bow fishing as a kid. They don't pull too hard with an arrow through their side Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 They don't pull too hard with an arrow through their side LOL... yeah that would tend to take a little fight out of 'em Quote
