Revive - A Quarterly Fly Fishing Journal (Volume 1. Issue 1 summer 2013) | Page 32

Forage consists of leeches, midges, scuds, callibaetis and damselfly

nymphs. Get your fly within a couple feet of one of these fat bastards

and it's go time. You'll spend the next ten minutes palming your reel

and playing tug o' war...and you'll be exhausted by sundown. A 'good

day' here means the fish couldn't be counted on two hands. Imagine a

lake full of tens of thousands of carp - all mirrors - averaging ten

pounds. A typical day will include at least one fish approaching twenty,

but you're not officially on the board until you've gone over thirty.

Sounds like a great place to spend a summer, right?
