Summer Carping

Fishing Panfish & Warm Water
1

Lately, the commons have been tight-lipped for me. Might have to down-size on the patterns. I get follows, but no commitals. However, we’ve been having some luck with a simple guide fly my fishing buddy thought of. I dubbed it Aaron’s Grassy Killer, but still waiting on his “official” name. If you find a feeding grassy, all you have to do is have the fly land within 12" of it’s head, then wait until you can’t see the fly anymore, then set the hook.

The following are from the time period shortly after the riots in Omaha, and on. Hope everyone’s season is going well. Tight lines!

You’re making it look easy, Eric! That’s tough fishing, with wind, tall grass and steep banks. Those fish seem pretty agressive. Awesome!! That last one was a really nice one!

Thanks Dave, but if I didn’t edit you’d be hearing some cussing going on, from frustration; fish not eating, fly getting snagged or line wrapping around…everything. But it’s better than a bad day at work.

Its all good. You’ve probably learned some about which fish are likely to eat and which ones aren’t. That’s very valuable knowledge.
