ronk Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Went to the Fox looking for carp as well as smallies since J.S' report of carp taking caddis.Fished from 1pm-6pm.Few caddis around but found a pod of carp feeding on land based seeds etc that were being blown onto the water by the very strong winds.Cast a hopper into the pod for about a half hour.No takers but did foul hook 3.As usually happens when foul hooked all 3 were eventually able to pull free leaving only one of their scales behind on the hook.Better results with the smb.Hit 6.3 were small +3 were nice, a 16",an !8" and another that was 17 or 18" that got away.All were caught pounding the shore with a big black blockhead bassbug.Casting it in that wind certainly tested your casting ability using a 6wt.Was pleasantly surprised to find the river easily wadeable at a low summer time level.
