Creeks Hold Carp On The
Fly Opportunities 20
On New Year’s Day, I set a
few fun fishing goals for the
year. One was catching my
first carp on a fly rod. I’ve
had a fly rod for 25 years
and to date have only rarely
used for bluegill,

The Peperami Rig
Oh the delicious greasy
spicy filth that is the Pepera-
mi is almost irresistible to
carp and it seems to trigger
some inherent ‘eat me now’
instinct in our carpy quarry.
It must be akin to a dirty
Donor Kebab for some of
us. There’s just something in
the ‘Rami that tantalises the
carp’s metaphoric taste.

Get Well On
DHL
Spring is here! All the trees
are green once again, birds
singing and fish spawning!
I love this time of year
when everything springs
back to life after a long cold

A New Kind
of Competition
Levi Flood
Competition drives us. El-
ementary school teachers
know it. They know that
the best way to transform
otherwise mundane activi-
ties into dynamic learning
experiences is to simply
add a prize.

Banged Up Tight
Darrell Peck
Islands are carp magnets
and they’re very attractive
to carp this time of the
year. Although you can
catch fish from open water,
the islands are somewhere
the fish definitely like to
patrol.
