| Can anyone suggest some good spots to fish for carp on dry flies? I just got back from MT and caught around 15 on the Bighorn Lake and am now addicted. Any help would be much appreciated. |

I've only heard of people doing it. Never seen it in person. I wouldn't even know where to start... Stream? River? Lake? Maybe i can try and point you in the right direction.

| I have seen carp caught on dries in the lower part of Salmon River as it flows into the Connecticut. |

I haven't seen it but heard..dry flies that represent bread crumbs(deer hair) and ones that represent mulberries.
toss out real bread and a bread crumb imitation fly....or.....a mulberry fly casted under a mulberry tree where they are seen feeding.
Rainbow reservoir and the upper housy by the Falls village dam out flow.

| Now that I think about it the other day carp in Lake Pocotapaug were feeding on berries tight to the shore, but I was hooking them just fine on big swimmer nymphs. Fun stalkin' them in a yak while they are slurping and tailing! |

That works too!
That's a nice lake for smallies and walleye as well.My uncle lives over on Sears place.He gets some big ones out of there.
