First 30 inch carp
Post By: brookieflyfisher      Posted: 8/24/2012 7:40:22 PM     Points: 4896    
Took me about 30 mins on the 5 wt, 3x tippet. Barr's Carp Nymph.

Got two more in the 20-25 inch class later that day.

They went back in, regs at the lake are C&R only.

Way to GO!!
28" is still my best.
That is a beast of a carp. 5wt sounds like a challenge.

Good job.

Thanks fellas! Went out to the same pond today and nailed this 20.5" beauty on a yum dinger as the sun was setting. The water temp is 85 but that's not stopping them. It's like early spring fishing right now, you have to be patient and work slow.
