My many years as a Floridian talking down on freshwater fishing is getting payback. I can't figure fish out in TN if my life depended on it.
Looking for some wisdom:
I've fished a section of the duck River around I-65 a few times now. There are many large (15-24") fish that hang out in the calm parts of the river. They're brown/bronze with black tails. They root around, and often give me flashbacks of tailing redfish. I can't get them to eat ANYTHING.
I think they're carp? Which would explain not eating my bass lures. Would that make sense based on my description?
If the consensus is yes, I know you can fly fish carp. Any of you fly fisherman have preferred flies/techniques for carp?
I'd love to catch one of these fish as they're pretty decent size.
Thanks!
