Hard for a rough fisher/carp fan to watch…

Don’t even know what to say… Disturbing to say the least.

Made a day trip to the LMFR in Broken Bow, Oklahoma on Saturday. Conditions were cloudy with temps in the lower 70’s… is it really mid-November??

Had a great time fishing with Brent and Chris. Started out down in the “red zone” and saw some success, although it was hit or miss.

Chris and Brent pulled in the big’uns, while I played with the dinks (got totally ignored by the big riser that I worked for at least 30min).

Nice Bow caught by Chris, Landed by Brent

The dinks were fun though, no complaining from me… tan ehc, black ehc, organge stimulator, parachute adams, olive foam caddis… didn’t seem to matter, they just wanted one look.

Found a nice one chilling in the protection of a boulder and some downed limbs.

a little shy...

Had a nice surprise when I worked my way into a couple of these too…

unexpected

Took a break for lunch and stopped by Sid’s shop to pick up a few flies, chat for a while, and borrow a picnic table. Had a great time over there, gotta stop by if you’re out that way…

Moved on to the Spillway Creek after lunch and worked our way into a little better fishing. We all managed to hook into some great browns and nice rainbows.

Standard Bow for the day

Sure seems like they dropped in some big bows recently. Nice to see, hope they manage to stick around.

Need more daylight hours… but definitely a great day. Now we just need a more direct route from OKC, all this driving out of the way stuff stinks.
