    in Carp on the Fly

    Posted

    I have a 6 weight bass pro rod. I think it was around $150. Works well for me, but I don't much else. I have used it mostly for LM Bass and trout. A few large catfish.

    I caught my first native trout in it's native waters on a fly I tied in Vermont last summer. I was a happy camper. Still have not caught a carp on one yet. I am a beter fly tyer than flyfisherman.

    Good catch! :D

    I use to fish after school. I kept my rod in my locker. There was a lake (Overholster, OKC) just 3/4 a mile from my school and 1/2 mile from my house. I would use the school cafeteria food for bait, could not eat, so thought it should have some use. Good times.

    Your screen resolution

    Whoops, I am speaking of the entire page not just the image. Hmmm, for dial up users I would want it to be at least under 100k. Make it a progressive Jpeg with moderate compression (72 DPI). Smaller than 800 x 600. 450 X 325 should get under 100k, depending on how you save.

    I would suggest making your pages for 800 X 600. Taking in consideration frame space your pages could be 768X420.

    Generally when I develop web pages, I use news sites (cnn.com, abcnews.com) as a standard.

    I would bet over 50% of the U.S. population is at 1024 x 768 or higher, and pages built for 640 x 480 would look poor for those users.

    Thanks for the warning…

    LOL, my wife is not happy about the smell either. I work on all my fishing stuff in the bedroom, and the first time I opened the bucket when she was 5 feet away. It was not a pretty site. I have been hiding my buckets or corn ever since.

    I once thought Linksys made very poor equipment. But for home use, you can’t beat their wireless products. I have setup a dozens or more wireless Linksys networks for homes this year. It is becoming very popular to share broadband, and cheaper and easier then running Cat5.

    Questions about carp physical variations

    in Beginning Carping

    I am not sure where to post this so I posted it here.

    After looking at my fish pictures I have a questions about carp physical variations.

    In the DFW area there are several lakes that I fish for carp, and they all have a very different look to them. Here are some samples

    Lake Grapevine: Very dingy ugly looking (usually but no always) golden leaning towards olive. The buffalo are also very ugly here (but big).

    White Rock: More pale with very bright fins. Smaller heads.

    Joe Pool: Gorgeous golden color on entire body. Some have humps.

    Are the physical differences merely genetic or does water chemistry, diet or other variable make a difference?
