    I finally bagged my first carp(7 lbs) last weekend at a lake here in sw washington. Without hesitation I confess that it was truly the most impressive and exhilerating experience with a warm water fish. I'm a born again convert. No freshwater species pulls harder or has more endurance in my experience. I digress.

    Near the location I caught my fish, I discovered some interesting seed pods on a raised clump of reed like plants near shore. I took them home to identify and believe them to be Iris pseudacorus. I believe its an invasive species here, a topic of its own but thats not what took my interest.

    The seed pod or fruit of the iris is about 2-4 inches and contains thee rows of seeds The seed is round, flat, and about the same size and appearance of my corn. Im wondering if it may be of significant interest to the carp here and anxious to try some on my return.

    Does anyone else have experience in this area? The only mention Ive heard for local flora carp feed on is cotton wood seed and mulberry. I'll report back if my trials are fruitful, pardon the pun.

    In the meantime I fileted my catch and presently looking at recipes to prepare this evening's meal.

    It will certainly be interesting to learn more of the outcome of that experiment with the seeds!

    2018 CCC Rules

    A couple of questions for clarification:

    1) What is the definition of "wading"? Does standing in 6 inches of water to net a fish qualify as wading? Some pegs at low tide are quite shallow in the margins.

    2) With the standard rule of fishing within one's pegged area - if located a peg with significant current, is there an exception to allow a participant to throw chum up current to allow bait to settle into their spot?

      

    Good questions Mike.

    On the wading question I think the highlighted text in rule 9 covers that point? If there is an obvious risk to the fish then wading to net a fish in shallow water is certainly allowed.

     9. No boats, bait-boats or wading, use of floatation devices or swimming (except in an emergency!); fishing from the shoreline only. Exception – an angler can enter the water by authorization from a Weigh Offficial or Angler at the next peg, to free a fish caught in a snag, weed or otherwise in distress or possible danger. Please ensure that you receive a verbal authorization from the Angler at the next peg or Official present before you enter the water. 

    On point 2). You are not allowed to throw your chum in another persons peg. There are plenty of ways to ensure your 'chum' reaches the bottom within the confines of your pegged area. Pack or method around the lead or hook bait, bait dropper devices, PVA bags etc.

    I had the same problem loading pictures to the leader board last year. It is because the photo is too large. If taken with a phone, send the pictures via text message and that will compress them. If taken on a digital camera you will have to manually change the photo size using editing software. I don't recall the appropriate size though. 

    Or you can email the images to yourself and it should give you a choice of image size... quick tip you don't even have to send it just save the file once the email is created ;)
