I enjoy fishing. Most people know that fact. A couple of times in recent weeks I ventured to a pond where Carp have become the most prevalent fish. Carp are not native to Pennsylvania. In fact they are not native to the United states at all. They usually cause much habitat damage to any ponds destroying egg-laying sites of native species.
My fly rod and reel!
However, since they have been established in almost every water locally one might as well enjoy fishing for them at times. I sure do!
My last two ventures to this pond has found me enjoying the fight by using a fly rod. Carp averaging fifteen to eighteen inches of muscle on such a fishing pole produce an action paced fight.
I have fished in the river several times during the last few weeks. I have done well with Smallmouth Bass this year.
