Fresh Water Carp & Wild Trout: Spooky, Picky & Strong

Carp & Trout Video

I was knee deep in lifeless water, on the Delaware River, during the prime hatch time and there were no signs life when the decision was made. Minutes later, I was speeding along the highway, weaving in and out of traffic to get to the next river 3 hours away. I met wrh at the pre-determined spot and we started our stalk. It was a good 90 degrees and we knew the trout fishing would be pushed to the end of the day but knowing how to keep ourselves busy on this river, we were not wasting the day looking for bugs or dainty rising trout. Our quarry is spooky, picky and brutally strong. Once hooked, the beasts would rip the backing from the spool with extreme prejudice. We stalked, worked the flies and laughed out loud when our fly lines disappeared into the water. These fish do not disappoint. It worked out that once the sun left the water, it would be time to head up river and chase the wild trout that live in the headwaters. These trout, being wild, also show a love for the fight and will test the breaking strength of your tippets and your knots. After the 3-hour drive from the tail-waters, these fish, in the free flowing river was a nice change and the fish took our flies with enthusiasm and put on their show for us. When the sun

finally set, you could not rip the smile from my face and the thoughts from my mind as I knew I had made the right decision and the fishing was definitely worth the drive.

hey very cool cool ... that water that you are fishing for the carp in is awesome .. i typically think of carp as living in swampy, muddy, brown water with water snakes and frogs ... but, wherever you guys are fishing looks like gaspe ... and then those wild trout are sweet ... beautiful browns and rainbows ... looks like, no crowds and great fishin' ... if i were you, i would keep very tight lips about that location ... don't tell anyone .. but me .. when i come to fish it with you guys ... :) ...

ps.. great website you guys built .. nicely done.
