I learned to fish, fishing for carp and I taught my daughter to enjoy fishing thanks to the carp.

Carp brings back great childhood memories.  Hope they do for my daughter as well.

Why, carp are beautiful !  They are strong, graceful swimmers, not so fussy about where they swim or what they eat. Fun to catch, fun to shoot, fun to watch.  They grow big and strong. If they only jumped, they would be in much demand as game fish.   In some parts of the world they feed the masses.  In other parts..they still do, you just don't know it.

And they look great as the front cover to those quivers !   Oh...pick me !   Pick me !

I have heard people refer to Canada Geese as Flying Carp.   I think that comment is a disgrace to the Carp.   They are better animals because they do not poop on the golf course.   LOL

Anybody ever noodle carp? When I was about 8 years old we would go up Green River in Ky and then up into the drainage canals that flowed into the river. (Every Spring the water would rise up into the fields and later in the summer the water would go down leaving hundred of fish stranded in pools.) We would wade in, grab the biggest fish we could find, and drag it out.

Once I found a Buffalo or Carp that was as big as I was. I wrestled him for awhile before I had to let him go. It was a monster.

On the way back in my uncle's old Packard, my dad and another uncle joked about how the fish in the trunk were causing the back end of the car to drag bottom. There must have been 500 pounds of fish back there along with 4 people. I believe that we may have eaten a couple of the fish, but this uncle who owned the Packard wanted almost all of them for himself.  

A poor man's Surf and Turf is Noodled Carp and Roadkill Possum.

when I was a kid my dad would take me,my brother and my sister in to town after church to fish for carp in the river at the local community park.
we would use cane poles that he made for us with a #1 00 hook and bread balls. Man what a riot!
besides the local species of carp there was also a species he called a german carp. It was a beautiful black scaled variety that to my knowlege
was only found in that area. We would all look forward to sundays with our dad in that park.
Man I miss thoes days.


Beautiful looking quivers there Don.
I'd love to own one. Thanks

They give bow hunters something to shoot at in the off season and the Asian carp found in the IL. river are great to shoot out of the air.

As a kid I grew up catching carp on all the local ponds.
In my late teens my buds & I used to wade for them with lemonwood longbows.  
When I grew older I found out what a battle they'll give you on a fly rod.
They were some great days!

Okay Larry, how do you use a flyrod for carp? Are you snagging them. I can't imagine putting on doughball on for flyfishing.

On a couple of the local ponds there were mulberry trees. When they started to drop the berries into the water & the carp would feed on them as they sank under the tree. A ball of dark purple wool wound on a #12 wet fly hook allowed to sink under the trees fooled a lot of 'em!
