[quote flygoddess]Good to see you on the FF board. Did you get your little Boron up and running or are you going with the way it is? It is a good little rod, and in a tube distance isn't a big deal for the most part.
Try a Bead Head Prince nymph on them Utah lake Carp, next time out...about a #12 or #14.[/quote]
[cool][#0000ff]I will probably just play with the rod just the way it is for a couple of trips. Most casts will be short, on a sink tip line in shallower water. If I decide I need bigger stripping guide and tip top I know a guy who can fix it.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Hard for me to downshift to fishing for carp when there is the potential for a big walleye or catfish. But, they is definitely fun to while away the hours when you just need some enjoys. Not sure I can bring myself to tie on those squinty li'l flies. Smallest I use is about size 6. Never had trouble finding willing takers. Caught a couple on 3" twisters on Friday...inside the pucker. In fact they hit and fought like walleyes so they got the blood pumping. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]That shallow cove is FULL of carp feeding on midge larvae right now. It should only get better for the next few weeks and then they will start gettin' silly. That old "dating game" thing. That's about the time a lot of them are taken on an "arrow emerger"...cast from 40 weight bows.[/#0000ff]
