Carp skin backing interest, making a list..(Pics for madcrow added)
TurtleCreek:
I put your name down George. Just got done scraping 12 skins tonight. I will be heading out to catch some more this upcoming Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I will make sure to post some pics for M-P if I get lucky again.
Pat B:
Ryan, I'd be interested in a set if you have any left over.
TurtleCreek:
I will put your name down Pat for when I get more. I have a lot of guys on the list, 20 total(as of now). I figured that for backing a bow, I would send each guy enough length in skins to do a 72 inch bow(or if ya make one shorter, you'd certainly have enough to play with). The skins will be left whole so you can cut them to whatever width ya want. Catching this many carp will be no problem, I will be on the river all day for 3 days this upcoming week and I will keep everyone posted. bcbull at the #1 spot already has his skins getting prepped so this should go pretty smoothly. Thanks for all the interest guys, I am having a blast doing this!!!

Hi Ryan, I'm new to this site. This is my first post actually. Pearl Drums got me over here from the trad gang site and told me to find you. I was going to ask about using salmon skin, but that's for another day. If you've got carp skins left, I'd like to be added to your list. I saw a bow backed with one that looked spectacular, and I'd love to give it a try! I'll PM you about the salmon skin stuff later. Gotta get the kids to bed!
Thanks
John

Carp fishing brings back some fond memories of my college days. I used a fly rod, closed face spinning reel and waded out below a spillway dam with waders, a can of corn for bait and a short section of pipe to dispatch the carp. I probably fished 2 days a week and caught carp most every day until my arms ached. Had a surprising number of people ask me to keep them for them. Those were simpler times.
