Fly rod carp and buffalo

[DEADhead]

The day started out gloomy and I was afraid it was a sign of how the day's fishing would go. Luckily I was proved wrong.

San Juan Worm with wire body, and a rubber legged antron nymph were the flies du jour.

More photos on my blog.

Where and how are you fishing them? Little flies?

Otter Tail River, and except for the one fish, I caught them on flies: San Juan Worm and X Factor nymph (my own pattern). There are more details on the catch here.

What did you fool them with on the spinning rod? Catch many buffalo on spinning gear?

Caught the carp on half a crawler, bottom bouncing across current.

I have caught the occaisional buffalo on a crawler, and even on a white twister tail, but the majority of my fish come on flies.
