When I got back from Taiwan I had a conversation about the crazy winter we had in California. I missed almost all of it being in Asia at the time but Joel told me it sucked. He was stuck home all winter and couldn't do anything. Then for one brief period it cleared up and was sunny. His entire street was outside in their front yards and enjoying the sun. He told me, it was just like his days growing up in Pennsylvania, when once the weather broke the entire town would get outside. I sympathize with those who live in areas that are snowed in all winter. It must be so boring. Cabin fever is a thing. That said we wanted to fish but with snow melt and cold condition fisheries were simply not productive. Desperate times calls for desperate measures. We decided to check out some local brown water for carp. I've done my fair share of this and if you've read the early posts of this blog you'll know I've spent a lot of time urban carpin'. Quite frankly I grew out of that stage and really came to dislike this style of fishing. I haven't done in in over a decade.Given this was really the only option we decided to check out how the local urban river was doing. We spotted a few but not as many as we'd hoped. We only made a few casts and realized it was not worth anymore effort. There simply was too much material in the water for a decent drift and without waders we couldn't get a proper angle or drift on them Water visibility also made it near impossible so we gave up rather quickly. The outing only proved once again why I stopped doing this type of fishing.
