[Trout Slayer]

Was up at a friends cabin last weekend near Pemberton and finally caught my 1st carp....ended up being a good 5 lbs on a dry fly off the surface. Hammered it and took off. Anyone else catch them on the fly rod? Was using a Tom Thumb. C&Red 3 Rainbows as well for the total of about 2 hours actually spent fishing.

Now THAT sounds like fun!
Any of the Deer Lake goers know if the carp rise for dries?
I know the goldfish on steroids in the lake down the street don't care for any of mine

If you hook a piece of a bread crust on your fly the carp will like that sandwich better

Using bait such as bread kinda defeats the purpose IMO,  unless you tied a fly that looked like bread.   In which case the carp should be accustomed to rising to bread.  I've always wondered if you could get hordes of hatchery rainbow to rise to a fly that looked like those pellets they are served while at the hatchery =D

Any patterns that can look like bread out there?  I'm thinking spun deer hair....anybody?

LOL tie a fly that looks like bread!!! hahahahaha  !!!!!

Hey, well done Trout Slayer.  

[TtotheE]

What color are those hatchery pellets?  I swear the trout will go mad on the dry right after they've been released into a lake

Actually, the fly that look the most like a pellet is 'Tom Thumb'.  I use it very successfully on newly released hatchery trout..
