As I mentioned before, I have a city river (Jordan) with walking distance from my house. Got it fixed up nice with a walk-way all around it, so I walk Elvis around it every day just looking at the water.
Very Murky and Trees and Bushes making it hard to get to, not to mention down trees and tires, and grocery carts IN the water.
Well, today I took the old UGLY (a 7' Berkly Glass rod with a twisted tip) over ther and probably not the best time of the day (1:00p.m.)
Found a clearing so threw out a HARESEAR.
Caught one LARGE CARP...WAHOO, that looked like it was shedding (sorry, couldn't find my camera in time for that one) and about 20" fatty....NICE!
Continued throwing the H.E. out but I am balancing on a ledge with a tree on bothsides and above me so I was more or less flinging it out about 15'. WOW! There is CRAPPIE in there. What a hoot! And I only lost one fly when ano0ther CARP went under a branch.
I found a new hobbie for the afternoons instead of Soapies and Chocolate Bon, Bon's.
Here are some shots and on the Koi you get an idea of what I am trying to throw my line through.
