So I fish the Juniata River almost every single day and do very well for bass. I know bass very well and can catch them with good success during any time of the year. Carp habits, on the other hand, are a little less known to me. I know where the carp spawn in the section of the river that borders my house, but afterwards other than by happening upon them I don't really know how to locate them. I am sure they use the protected waters and small slackwater areas behind the islands quite a bit, as do all fish in the river, but that is about all I know. I used to catch them with spinnning/baitcasting gear and homemade flavored baits utilizing the cast and wait method but I really want some on the fly. The Juniata has huge carp cruising around and I really want to try to fool one before the end of the warmwater "wet wading" season ends in early Autumn. All help and tips would be greatly appreciated.
