The day started off well, I managed to find a 4.3kg carp at the first spot of the morning...

we tried for bass and Dean unfortunately lost a decent one at the boat :(

Things werent easy throughout the day, and we drove around a bit. We came upon hundreds of big carp over deep water near the dam wall. It seems there was a hatch on and the carp were feeding on the rising bugs... I eventually convinced this 5.9kg to take the fly, although he got pinned in the nose I saw him come for it

Much later that afternoon as we were cruising down some mixed mud and plant flats, I saw a mud patch in the water with a tail waving just above it... I placed my leadhead where I thought the head was, gave it 3 seconds and lifted into this feisty 6.1kg model

Excellent fish......

They are such underestimated fish on light tackle. Awsome fighters.

Please can you post a pic of the leadhead in a dry state.

Thanks.
