Good on you for helping the "old" guy.

Size 12 capr jig, “Krap-ish”Krap dubbing.

Your friends wife isn't alone in her beliefs. A former coworker of mine was bitching one morning about those "do not remove tags" and said he'd gone ahead and cut them off. His foreman (a talented practical joker) said "Gary, I won't turn you in but did you know there's a reward given to...

Another beautiful job!

Tomorrow is work at home and Wednesday I'm meeting my 6 year old buddy - I really want Jerry to get some caprs then. fingers crossed for fish to show on the flats and the W and other things to align for him.

Headed to the capr lake this morning. It was supposed to be calm, it wasn't and then it was. The "W" wasn't bad. The last four times I've been to this lake, I seen "pods" of carp cavorting, frolicking, rolling all over each other - on the surface of the lake. I spotted six, seven of these...

Thanks, Dan! I fish very similar jigs for trout - often. Had a couple great outings at the Warm Water Ditch one November fishing a similar jig with an orange bead.

If the dubbing is "mud puppy" then tomorrow this fly should entice caprs (plural, optimism today) to eat it. There's a lot of rubber in the dubbing for old Rubber Lips.

There's a small lake south of Kamloops Lake that had Pennask trout stocked in it. Holy smokes! They weren't BIG - 17" max, but our 5 weights were a challenge. Beautiful trout. (Is there an ugly trout?) Glad you guys had a GREAT trip.

Pennask?

John Gierach, in his book "Another Day In Paradise" has a chapter on carp fishing. If I remember the passage correctly it went something like "It was a hot and windless day and carp were clooping the schmoots". Bill Marts (The Blue Dun) organized carp derbies here in the Basin - Jeez, how long...

The Worley Bugger is for sale, I guess Steve is hanging it up?

Yesterday. Only 93F today. Rain? I wish.

No hexagenia hatch, no hatch of anything that I could see, no shucks anywhere. I thought maybe they were simply clooping the schmoots as there was lots of schmoots to cloop. My pram was really schmoot-dirty when I trailered it.

I'm glad you're getting out and netting some of them caprs. Maybe tomorrow if the "W" isn't an issue.

Looking forward to your trip report!

Thanks, Stacy. It was an odd experience for me as it seemed as if my pram pushed a bow wave 30 - 50 feet in front of the boat as I motored across deeper water (water I don't bother to fish). It took me a bit to figure out that the wave were carp fleeing (?) from the pram. Three times I...

This thread fascinates me and now you go and show your smoke tray. Very cool (I'd love to do a side by side taste test with the mass produced smoked paprika I have in my spice drawer with yours. I'm guessing the difference is mind blowing; perhaps like having a cup of coffee brewed with a can...
