Never ending fishing

It's been a while since I checked in on the blog.  If you've been following on facebook (thanks for the "likes" and comments, always appreciated...keep'em coming!) you know I've been fishing non-stop. The weekdays have me chasing grass carp.  Trying to get in as much carp'n as I can before the water gets to cold for them to be active on the flats.  Last time I checked I had over 500 pictures of carp swimming, running, pulling, flopping out of my hands, tail slapping me, and posing with me!  The fishing has been great...not 500 fish great, but it's been pretty insane.



In the middle of the carp'n a buddy invited me to the Little Red River for the weekend.  We had a blast camping and fishing 3 days...it was nice to be in a boat and not my kayak.













We were hoping for some high water and trowing some streamers...tied a few special for the trip but the COE never cooperated.  It didn't matter, we caught some beautiful fish.  Sight fished a few nice browns and 1 huge 25" bow.  Fish like that make it nearly impossible to get a good presentation.  I ended up snagging a branch on a roll cast and spooking it!







My buddies 17" bow



Sow bugs practically crawling out of the water. Guess what pattern was very productive!


Got back home on Monday and went back to the usual carp chasing.  My buddy has more pictures and when he sends them I'll post to FB.  It's been fun, never ending fishing continues....

    Hey, just because you've been fishing doesn't mean it's nice to leave your friends out of the post fishing party. Those trout are amazing. The carp are still escaping me so good job there Drew.

      Haha, thx Bill, I shouldn't have posted the carp with the trout...that couldn't have helped! In reality the carp will never win a beauty contest (they don't smell so great either)...it's all about the challenge with those dudes.

    Great stuff, Drew! The good (trout), bad (winter looming), and the ugly (carp). Ha!

    That river looks beautiful!

      Thx man. You nailed it! The Red is awesome. When they generate (8ft of extra water) you can bring in some big browns on streamers, but you need a boat. When they don't, a kayak is perfect and there is so much water that can be waded and fished from a kayak. It's like having 2 rivers in 1.
