Here it is i'm sure you have all been waiting anxiously for the announcement. the fourth annual Grand Island NY CARP-O-RAMA 2011® will be held on Sunday June 12th. the event has grown quite a bit in it's first five years and has been deemed an outstanding, international success. the event is open to anyone, but guests will have to be approved by the BOD Grand Island NY CARP-O-RAMA 2011®. apply by sending me a PM or e-mail. this a a mere formality but will give us an idea of the number of Carp-0-Rammers®.
designated as flyfishing only with flies and only the waters wadeable from Grand Island are fishable. bass is open as well but the 5 lb smallies just want you to lose the Grand Island NY CARP-O-RAMA 2011® so don't be distracted. the only award is for longest carp. if you ain't first, you lost.
RECOMMENDED GEAR- 7-9 wt rods floating line and at least one spare leader. 8-12lb tippet. polarized glasses. small crayfish flies, hex type nymphs, clouser swimming nymphs, damsel/dragon nymphs, merkins and buggers are all good choices for flies. the water will be chilly still so waders are highly recommended for wading and tick protection for the state parks (Tick Island) areas. this is a serious note- there are LOTS of ticks on GI and participants should be aware and inspect themselves afterward(or use it as an excuse to have a "friend" help). sun screen wouldn't hurt either and bring a good supply of water. we will also be doing a cook out after the festivities.
exact details to follow but we will meet at 9 am on GI and be fishing by 10.
