Spring carp fly fishing

photos: Miroslav Vodopija 
Spring is the right time to catch carp on the fly
This weekend Miro visited some lakes near the city and caught some wonderful carp on the fly rod.
 In this period carp are easy to be located and are often found near the coast in the range of our fly fishing gears. 
Carp can be successfully fished with the imitation of various larvae, leeches, corn, bread or boilas ...
Thanks Miro on these beautiful photos, and I'm sure I'll join you at the first opportunity
because this  is a top adrenaline experience that should be repeated each year during the hottest spring days

After a long winter, spring has arrived


Well, after a long winter, spring is here. This was our first bass fishing this year, with a few fish. Since Miro has lost a few good ones, this was the fish of the day... not bad for the beginning of the season. The most of bass are still in the branches, so this one took silicone lure Hulla Grub by Yamamoto. Also we had some attacks to walk the dog surface lures and cranks.

Fishing with confidence

Over the last few years, with more or less success, me and my friends are trying to fish bluefish and sea bass, especially in the winter or early spring period. Bluefish are sometimes elusive and very cautious, often will follow offered lure in the flock, but will not bite it. Sometimes they rise to the surface, then you can successfully fish on a variety of top water models or with streamers and fly rod. But they are more often at the bottom of the sea, and then you need to offer a cheery, sinking lure that will provoke a bite. Duo Tide Minnow 75 Sprint is the lure with whom I have by far the most success in fishing and just contributed to a feeling of self-confidence, that has often been compromised with this "hard to catch on lure" fish. Now, if I know where the flock of smaller sizes bluefish is, my first choice will be Tide Minnow 75 Sprint. Second choice, is somewhat thinner, and thus rapid sinking lure Duo Spearhead Ryuki 80s. Both will promptly react on twitching and jerking rod actions. Allow them to sink to the bottom, and then start to work with the rod. Work in all layers of water, with pauses and sharp strokes with the rod, giving unpredictable action with speed changing and breaks, that will fool the bluefish. Be careful, if the fish size are bigger, they could go with your lure. In this case only steel wire can save it from sharp teeth. Both lures are great for sea bass too, but sometimes you need to reduce intensity of jerking with rod, and be a gentler than with bluefish. Note that both models are widely used in river fishing, about which more will be said later.
