{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: C&O canal for mulberry tree and carp

Very cool -- you carp-in-the-canal folks are like some kind of guild working mysteries while people who jog-in-place while talking to each other rummage about behind you.

So I went with Jeff to the canal this morning in a hunt for mulberry trees and carp.  We fished with some success up and down the canal until I had to leave for work.  Jeff was able to to catch two carp (one was 3 and 4 pounds and the other one was 6 to 7 pounds) and I had only one sold hook up from a large carp but I over set the hook and snapped the tippet.  I plan on going out again real soon to give it another try.

What I will say is that depending on the timing, fishing with mulberries can be productive.  I would suggest that if anyone was going to try with mulberry flies, that you tie them in white foam and use red and dark purple markers for variations between the three colors.  I would also make a couple with a weighted core to have it float in the subsurface and give a good SPLAT! to better imitate the landing of a real berry.
