I kicked off my 2024 Carpin’ season this morning by sticking my first carp of the year so I thought I would kick off the annual Carpin’ thread as well. I saw numerous carp this morning that were active and in their normal feeding mode, which is head down, tail up, rooting on the bottom with the mud clouds flowing. I managed to get two carp to eat my fly this morning. I brought one fish to the net and the other one came unbuttoned on me after a short run. Not a ton of action but certainly enough to knock the rust off.
Over the past number of years I’ve annually started up this thread for PAFF carpers or wanna be carpers. Some years it gains a lot of momentum … other years not so much. Last years thread was a whole lot of fun and it actively ran from late February through early October. There was a lot of participation from a good number of forum members. The thread is meant to be fun and informative where we can all share successes and failures, productive tips and techniques and even carp patterns with each other. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions because I’ve always enjoyed sharing many of the things I have learned by trial and error over the past 10+ years of chasing carp with the flyrod. Get out there and start locating some carp, they are starting to get active. Tight lines and screamin’ reels!
