I won't provide any details because the details, while interesting, paint a frustrating picture. Suffice it to say that the warmwater, thus far, has been far more challenging than spring 2010 coldwater fishing. Fish here and there... but I've seen hundreds and caught few. Filter-feeding carp: tough. Tougher than usual even, for some reason. Rust maybe. Smallies: easy and borderline annoying in that they interfere with sight-fishing. White sucker: I walk by them often, but with a nod to Trout Caviar and The Roughfisher I sight-fished to a big bastard and was treated to a nearly-secret take of the carp carrot. Quillback. Many carp snagged. A few carp - a few carp hooked and landed. Not many. Will change though.
