June 19th Carp On The Fly Report

I went out to my new hotspot again today. The side i usually fish had 20 mph wind blowing in my face. with no signs of fish. i decided to got to the other side. which was calm. the only water movent pretty much was from the tails of carp. They were every where!!! i started out casting a size 8 dragonfly nymph. but with no success. i switched to a size 6 bunny leech. still no success. i kept trying all different flies. then i tied on a size 12 woven bitch creek nymph i tied last night. first cast a big hit. i knew that this was a hot fly. i fought the fish for about 15 minutes before he gave in and came into my net. i didnt have a scale with so i dont know the exact weight. he was a lean mean male though. pic of him. (sorry the pic is blurry i didnt notice until i released the fish.)

i walked along the shore line and passed up many small tailers until i seen a nice big tail.
i casted out to it. but with only about 2 inch water clarity it was hard to tell when the had it. i just kept the line somewhat tight. soon after the fly touched the water. the line started moving to the left. i knew it had the fly. i set the hook. and after a gruelling 10 minute battle the fish was in my net. pic of her. (my net is 22 inches from let to right, and 24 inches from top to bottom)

after that i had to blind cast for a while. catching 4 small carp which would be less than a pound. then i seen a group of tails (right next to shore) down the shoreline. i slowly walked to them and noticed they were the tails of 3 nice carp. i slowly dropped my fly right on their face or atleast where the would be (i couldn't see them). and almost immediatly i felt a big hit. and the fight was on. about 10 minutes later. another lean mean male was in my net.
pic of him. i used my hand for scale.
