Actually on the Perdenales river North of here. River is very low, but fish can be found in large pools. They spook easy so put a stalk on them. 5wt rod w 10lb fluoro will work.

      @9G3B I've tried a nymph but no luck. Are you trying a hair rig? It's tough w flies if you can't see the take. Keep line tight and set on the first ...more tap. I don't feel taps. It's been spit by then.

      @Andouille what's the technique when nymphing? I'm waiting until I feel a tap tap tap then I strip downwards but I keep missing any suggestions?

      @9G3B check @FlyWhiteGuy87 and @eastonsutley for great patterns like carp candy & carp worms. I've used them w success. Not my quote,but "If you have ...more to think about setting the hook it's too late."

      Thanks bro! I have some carp that are hitting my nymphs but I keep missing them. What other flies do you use?

      I bet it is especially if you see the fish take your fly that would be fun on some tailing reds

      @reelgame happy to follow. it takes practice for sure. I was blessed w a pond a few houses down to practice in. 2 years w a fly rod and I'm just above novice. ...more The hook up is worth it.

      @9G3B almost directly in front and then strip setting. Most casts were under 20 ft. No current to drift fly to them. Any subtle changes to the line or fish, I ...more was setting the hook.

      What was the presentation? We're you casting far ahead of them then stripping it back? Or just casting directly in front of them?
