That pond in the bird sanctuary can be pretty productive, you can legit chum there too and pretend you are feeding the birds lol.

Check the regs?Iif you wanted to be legit you could wait for someone else to feed the ducks and then chuck a couple of casts in commando style.

Also judging by the size of some of those porkers in there you would be woefully undergunned with the 6 weight!!

i know carp fisherman that use a 5wt, they need too cause you cast anything higher than a 5 and when the line hits the water its spook's them and they run off.

Stealth and suitability for the size of the fish are not the same thing.

Landing carp on a 7wt is tough as it is, wouldnt try it on a 5wt.

Ive seen a few tail the surface, but not fished them. Now that I have practice in Richmond I will probably give it a shot in the near future
