Carp skin backing interest, making a list..(Pics for madcrow added)
TurtleCreek:
Glad you like them Lee.... Doing this has really created an addiction to carp fishing for me!!! It has rained all day here which is a major bonus because the water levels on the river have been fairly low. But with the rising water level, I am expecting the carp action to pick up as it will create more current breaks and pools in the shallower water. I have the next 3 days off and plan to spend every second of day light getting more of these "bugle lipped bass" for the rest of the crew. I will sure be busy, but havin' fun as it will be well worth the time spent. Thanks again for the kind words- Ryan

Bugle lipped bass! hehehe
Fly fisherman call 'em "false bonefish", too.
gstoneberg:
I've heard them called lots worse than that!! Usually by walleye fisherman fishing the spawn in a river after foul hooking one, fighting it for 20 minutes on 6lb line and declaring to all their buddies it might be the new state record... :o

Only managed to get two common carp yesterday, 27 to 28 inches long. I had a third one, went to put it on the stringer, stringer broke from the log it was tied to and started to go down the river. Not thinkin', I grabbed for the stringer, lost my balnce and fell on my back loosing the hold I had on the third fish and into the river it went. I did get the stringer back with the other 2 fish on it. So far each time I have been out I have either tumbled into the river or have slid down a steep bank and gotten covered in mud, but at least I have caught fish. I guess that's what happens when you fish those hard to get to spots:) I will be back out on the river tomorrow to get Stingray 45's batch and hopefully stay on my feet!!!!

Long way from the grace and artistry of a fly fisherman making those lovely sweeping casts at a wild brook trout. But frankly, I'd rather go fishing with you! Sounds more exciting.
