Slow Season On The Papio

Fishing Panfish & Warm Water
1

The weather has been like a yo-yo in southeast NE, which has affected the Papio. Slowly, as the water & air temps go up, I’m noticing the carp getting caught and the aggressiveness of the eat, are increasing. Friday the 13th was good to me, where I landed 2. The second one was pulling line out, and I already had the drag fairly tight. Tight lines!

Good job, Eric!

Thanks @FishnDave. Carp were starting to get aggressive before storms. 2 of the 4 charged the fly and actively rooting for it. The last one actually started pulling line off the reel. We just need consistent sunshine.
