Yes I know this is to be about trout but at this time of year if you want something to do close at home, try this - carp on top! I was in Athens the other day and found the entire surface covered with rising carp taking spent white flies (Ephoron Lukon, spell), heck they were not more than 5' off the bank and taking last nights spent flies like little pigs. Today I was in Berwick and Bloomsburg interviewing fishermen and they informed me that at the Berwick "Test Track ramp" and the Bloomsburg "Riverfront Park" has thousands of rising fish every night, some really big carp! I'll be out looking for fish above the dam in Sunbury and on Wed night in Bloomsburg checking the evening rise. Do not underestimate the power of these fish when you hook one, a 7 wt and a reel with a good drag will be necessary. Pictures to follow after the catch.
We did this for years below the dam in Sunbury for bass but sadly that event just does not happen, the flies are there but not the fish. I wonder if this is still going strong on the Yellow Breeches?
