Slow Grind ends in a flurry at Willard

[obifishkenobi]

Nice work.  Best colors?

Blue and silver did most of the damage, but that’s probably because I always had that color in on one pole and rotated other colors on the other. I got the carp on purple perch.

I have caught quite a few carp on various sizes, styles and colors of fligs...and on several waters.  As most of us find, the carp in Willard are almost like the "predators" in that they feed on the shad.  Been lots of carp hooked while trolling cranks at mach 3. 

Oh, and by the way, you didn't spell the name of that other flig properly.  My "official" spelling is "Perple Purch".  But what's in a name? 

Have you been trying the pink tiger?  That was my best color on my last trip.   Ditto for the "Deadly Duo" (Curt & Ira).

It was in the rotation but I didn’t hook up on it.
I was running a shorter 18” leader on it hoping to score some perch. I’ve been having better luck with the cats with longer 24-36” leaders.
