Warm Water Activity Begins

[RMLytle]

Some of you may have noticed that there is a lack of ice on a few lakes or ponds in CT, particularly those with a bit of flow to them. I was out today and the carp were in the shallows feeding and a few crappie and bluegill passed through. It is time to start prepping the warm water gear! I for one am confident I will be able to catch a carp on fly this week, if I do you can find reports here, as well as the report from today: flyfishingcts.blogspot.com

This Carp on the fly sounds pretty exciting!!! This is something I really want to try. Could this be in East Hampton CT by chance???

It certainly is, if you want to try at my secret pond just give a call! If the wind and rain isn't bad I'm going to try tomorrow afternoon.

I am with both kids on this Good Friday Rowan. Please let me know how you did. I'll get with you soon!!!

I did well, I got one nice common in the upper teens in weight, maybe even 20lbs:http://flyfishingcts.blogspot.com/2015/04/first-carp-of-2015.html
Unfortunately rain and wind may keep me off the pond for a few days.
