Nice Catches! I got stuck spreading fertilzer. Tonight I will hit the West Fork or maybe Carp down in Granville.
-
I under the weather today. Been sick all morning. all dizzy and lightheaded and nausea. Lucky me!
Doc's got me on some new meds. and I don't think they are agreeing with me at all.
The bigger storms missed my house, it looked like on radar that Justins area mighta got hit. But thankfully no twisters!
-
Nice, way to go!! Them Buffers is fun to catch.
-
Kim probably!!! I hope you can come if ya can I'll drive up and getcha :D
Rob we have a tornado watch until 10 pm EST looks like the weather is gonna turn nasty within the hour or so
:DP.S. Just heard some thunda
I wouldn't worry too much about no twisters. I've known of 2 in my lifetime here.
Not saying it can't happen but its highly unlikely. BUT.........we best keep alert just in case.
Never made it out today fishin. Just didn't feel good all day. I think maybe its these new meds.????
-
Thanks All!!! It was fun catching that carp and nice watching it swim back to the deep to grow bigger and provide someone else an oppertunity for a little excitement.
-
Sounds good to me, give me a hollar and I'll try to make it.
-
Nice Pics, nice fish!!! Looks like it would be a blast.
-
I'm getting a little wore out on this rain. Get a nice day or two then a week of rain. Gets old quick!
-
Thanks Everyone! Fishin with Justins a blast, always a good time!
-
Had a good time and we got into a few. That coconut was working great today.
Its always a good time fishing with Justin.
Another fine day on the "Mon"
-
Thanks Fellers!
Its always nice to get up in the mountains to some fishin. Brookies are one of my favorites even if they ain't very big.

I headed up into the mountains today to fish with my buddy Barry.
Barry took me to a little out of the way trickle that cascades down off a mountain. We hiked back in to a water fall and commenced to fish.
Barry was armed with a spinning out and I had my new 2wt flypole.
The sun was shining and it was a bluebird day. We caught a gang of brook trout, I really don't know how many as we never counted them. 20-30 would be an accurate guess.
This little trickle you can hop across in most places, probably no more than a couple feet deep in the deepest holes. Your classic babbling brook!
Heres a few photos of our little adventure.

Ol Possum with a MONSTER! LOL

A Brookie I caught and released just before it hit the afterburners back to the depths of its little pool.
All in all another fine day in the mountains of WV!
-
Sounds like you had a good time. Ol Justin is First Class!
-
Thanks!!! I got ya on the leaders!!!
I haven't checked in a week or so to see if them carps is up the feeder creek yet. Weather has been the pits here.
But as soon as I see them carps up that creek I'll give'm a go with the 5wt and stouter leaders.
-
Well first you should have a euronet and landing mat put the catfish on. Then gently reachdown with one hand and gently restrain the fish while you remove the hook. Then apply a dab of antiseptic on the wound where the hook was.
Cradle him gently in both hands have someone snap a pic or two and then gently return him to the water.
Thats about it!
-
Not a very catfish friendly pic.
-
Cool story and a nice carp!
-
Well I appreciate all the advice, I'm listening!
I'm really not able to buy any new rods at this time but those are a steal!
In fact I just spent $140.00 yesterday on the 2wt. but its for Native WV Brookies. A 12"er here is really a good fish. They come out of little trickles you can hop across.
I kinda assumed if I got a big carp on the 5wt I'd have to wear him clear out to bank him.
I really would rather not get into a big one on light stuff. I do think I can somewhat target these smaller feeder creek carp.
Judging from last year and the ultralight adventure is that they tend to just run back and forth up the creek channel and don't seem to want to head out into open water for some reason.
I never kept count but I caught a gang of them and only had one break my line. The rest either were banked or got just got off. They seemed no worse for wear. But Lordy get a big one on its either broke off or wore out.
I'll do the 5wt. If I encounter any problems or see its stressing the fish too much I'll bump up to 7 or 8 (if my wife doesn't find out about the new 2wt.) LOL
-
Thanks All! I think I'll just give it a whirl with the 5wt.
Now probably my luck is I actually get into a big one with that light stuff and suffer a defeat. LOL
-
Ok thanks! The 5 is the heaviest I got.
I want to fish the feeder creek at the Bum Swim with it. I did a little expermenting last year with a 4ft. Ultralight with a underspin spooled 4lb. and caught a gang of carp. Most was 6-9lbs. with my biggest on the light stuff there going 11lbs.
Now to do it on a flyrod is my next little personal goal. I was just concerned the 5 might be a touch too light but I guess if the drags adjusted right something else should break before the rod.
-
Ok now I got your attention. I want to catch carp on my flyrod. I have a 2wt (I'd think it way too small) and a 5wt. The average carp will most probably be under 10lbers.
Is a 5wt heavy enough for these size fish?
-
You tore'm up!!! Wish I coulda made it but I got stuck doing some things.
-
Hey Justin nice fish!!!!
-
Nice Drums!!! I couldn't make it out yesterday as I took advantage of the weather to spread 25 tons of gravel on my dads driveway and do a couple odds and ends around here.
You guys keep going like that on them Drum and you'll be soon stealing the crown from the Drum King himself Wu Billy.
Headin to Barrys today to fish for trout and dig ramps.
