Carp are back - flygoddess - 10-31-2012 Carp action slowed down for the month of Sept. They were still hitting but I had to really work to find them. Plus they seemed smaller. Still fought great. WelI got out Monday and today for an hour or two. Monday was a little slow going trying to find what they wanted and due to the surroundings, working on a good long roll cast. Aster about a half hour, I decided to attach a glow in the dark Thingamabobber, which appears clear, like a bubble on the water. This is pretty shallow section right now, so I think this was a good thing. I had my softhackle Glowbug about four feet down from the indy and of all things, a stonefly nymph about 3' down. I cast it out to some shadows and waited. It went down so I tried to set the hook. A little resistance than nothing. I cast out again and this time, the indy went down slightly, then to the side, so I Bill Danced it! Worked! really well actually. Today, it was definitely the trick! Try it!
