My son and I did this about 10 days ago and had my granddaughter netting, what a blast. Bryce

"Match the hatch" is how the fly fisherman call it...so if trying to catch them use what they are feeding on. Or you can just spear or arrow them, both quite legal here for taking carp. Jim Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

This is not new...... hook one kernel of stale (popped) popcorn and toss in the midst of them when they are gulping (no weights so it floats) ....... use a cane pole or long fly rod... Really, you need more redneck/hillbilly genes like me LOL....................... the mike

From what I read they follow the females around waiting for eggs to be laid in the shallows then the males fertile them. Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that! Jerry Herbst
