[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 1308463, member: 880"] If the gar hole was still below Overholser I'd take you there! really not being mean you would have so much freakin' fun, some nylon twine and a 7 or 8wt rod and catch freshwater tarpon (gar) before they did all the work on the dam it was just too much fun when we were not having any luck on hybrids we would go to the gar hole and oh my what a blast. I would really like to find some folks that can teach me how to catch carp on a flyrod, I have heard that is awesome great fun also just don't have a clue as to how to catch them. I tried my hand down here in Louisiana and thought I'd hit the coastal marshes for reds and specs, didn't have a clue what I was doing or where to go but I thought I'd figure it out as I went. Well I didn't catch anything! found out that your wasting your time if you don't have a boat! best thing I found out is that you don't wade in the marsh! after a 15 minute fight to get out of the muck that had me up to my doo dads and looking like a pig that had just got out of a mudhole I thought it best I called it a day. dustingaunder, best thing to do is just go! I gave up on waiting for people to go with and just went probably much better so my buddies didn't laugh too bad and I got time to figure out some stuff. Since then my little brother has picked up the flyrod after I skunked him on bass in HIS pond :-) since then I have found many other that I go with now and again but I still like those trips by myself somedays I just find it peaceful and you can really get your head cleared out. Might see you on the stream! Later, Kirk [/QUOTE]
