I read through a few pages of "Fishing for Buffalo" by Rob Buffler and Tom Dickson tonight. What an outstanding resource. For those interested in pursuiing carp, I highly recommend you track this book down.

One quote: "I would say without a doubt the carp is the strongest swimmer of the warmwater species. Gamefish aren't even close."

I gotta break out that book and go through it again. Love that quote. He's right.

Need to catch some carp.

BTW - the dam where we landed that mirror is absolutely FULL, and I mean FULL, of redhorse right now. It's so thick, you would literally have a higher percent chance of snagging a fish than not.

I would have fished it a bit over lunch yesterday, but I wasn't really interested in snagging redhorse and dragging them downstream to land. The operator opened the nearest gate too, so the current is really strong in short.
