Was supposed to go cut wood with a guy but he cancelled till tomorrow. so I loaded up and took Odie up to a local small stream for pan fish and bass. started out with crawfish patterns, no go. went to worm pattern and started catching a few rock bass. decided to try a crawfish again. threw it up near a log and rock structure thinking I might get a small bass or panfish. saw the line moving forward on a drift and set the hook. It was no small fish but a carp about 5 lbs. Problem was I had only 4x tippet on and he took off upstream through the rocks. Yep he broke off. worked our way up a few holes and caught around 30 fish in a 1/4 mile stretch. turned around and fished back using a minnow pattern with a small gold spinner blade in front for xtra flash. caught a few perch and sun fish. saw a carp cruising in and out of the rocks when he turned and rushed the fly. never seen a carp chase a spinner before. he hit and I set the hook, he took off in the rocks and broke me off. called it a day after that. total around 40 fish all day, was a nice time and will be back again.
