Opportunity knocks.

[Peron]

I have been pretty frustrated with the changing Rideau and Ottawa river water levels and mudiness this year so I have been very opportunistic in my fishing and ironically this has been one of my better years. Some really nice early Pike, some great large and small mouth bass in the past two weeks but again the water changed! I decided I needed some weight on my line and I picked what I thought would be an unfishable location on the Rideau where I knew some big boys were cruising.

Hey as long as something is on the line, it's all good.

Nice looking carp!

Nice fishing! Pound for pound carp a blast.

Agree about carp being a blast but I do find the midsize ones are best. The first picture was a huge fish but he did not seem too motivated to escape. Thrashed around a lot. The second picture was a smaller fish by 7-10 pounds but it took off like a freight train... Even a brief arial display which is impressive for such "streamlined" fish

Nice carp there bud!

Cool deal to mix it up and target some Carp, such an under-rated target.
