Week Off pt.1: 7/2-7/4
winonaflyfactory July 9, 2018 July 10, 2018 Carp on the Fly / Fishing The Streams

Week Off pt.1: 7/2-7/4

Started my week off with a bit of carping with almost nothing to show for my effort save a few tears. The spots I’ve come to enjoy have filled in with thick weeds. The carp are present but this change is striking and my lack of experience made me go …

The Second Half: June 14th, 2018

If you haven’t read the First Half I suggest you do so as it will give this post better context. Sitting on the bank of the creek with a beer in one hand and watching Carl strip his crane fly across the surface I took note of the time, 3pm. …

winonaflyfactory June 18, 2018 June 18, 2018 Carp on the Fly / Fishing The Streams

The First Half: June 14th, 2018

I fished with Carl from ~10:30am-11pm on the 14th. The initial plan was to hit a series of beaver ponds for larger browns then during the hottest part of the day find brookies hopefully hitting dry flies. The last time we fished this water it became apparent that it would …

New Water: 6/1/18
winonaflyfactory June 1, 2018 June 5, 2018 Carp on the Fly

New Water: 6/1/18

There is a formula for stalking carp that became abundantly clear today, it may not apply in all situations or all places where carp are present but for me it seems to hold true. The speed at which you move should reflect a combination of the amount of direct sunlight …

Carping Thoughts & Notes: 5/29/18
winonaflyfactory May 30, 2018 May 30, 2018 Carp on the Fly

Carping Thoughts & Notes: 5/29/18

Initial thoughts and a warning: This post is going to be long, a lot to unpack here and a lot to learn. I fished for the same specie in two very different environments, notable the needed change in approach and understanding between the two. The first story is of a …

Carping: 5/18 & 5/19/18
winonaflyfactory May 19, 2018 May 21, 2018 Carp on the Fly

Carping: 5/18 & 5/19/18

It’s been years since I touched a carp, not because it doesn’t intrigue or interest me but more that during my fishing lull caused primarily by a desire to race my road bike and the birth of my daughter I just didn’t have the time to find carp. I used …
