Get ready for one of our wildest carp fishing adventures yet.

Two 55lb carp. A drained-out reservoir.

The water’s falling… but the fish are rising.

After a very painful bout of diverticulitis, I am finally home after spending 10 days in hospital. But I am feeling better and back to work as the winter carping is still underway. I am taking it a bit slow at the moment giving myself plenty of rest and not pushing my body too hard as I finish healing nothing heals the soul like being out on this incredible river. A huge shout out to everyone who has sent in their well wishes and to everyone who has helped out while I was on the mend. I truly am blessed. Thank you to all and looking forward to the incredible fishing to come.

Whether it is freak storms, algae blooms, water temperatures, or any number of other circumstances, one thing that makes my life as a fishing guide nearly impossible is when they open the dam's floodgates and purge the system. Although I understand the necessity, it forces me to think outside the box and rely heavily on my years of knowledge and experience. This past spring was one such time. With a client due to come out and the river in full flood with multiple dams wide open working in tandem to push through the huge amount of winter meltwater from its base into the delta. This is not unusual. in fact, it is quite common during this time of year making the bulk of the river completely unfishable.…
