2pm.-7pm. - Raystown Branch.
Bedford county,
southcentral, PA. WEATHER-
Mostly-Partly Cloudy,
Hot/Humid mid-high 80's, and
light breeze in Pm. (
Thunderstorms all weekend
and yesterday afternoon)
(Mainly Runoff not much help
to streams.) WATER Conds.-
Little low and
Stained,cloudy, MUDDY(Vis.

1ft.most places)TEMP:
Forgot? low 70's??? FLIES-#6-
10 IKe's Crayfish, #2-4
Whitlock's Crayfish, #4-2/0
Clouser deep minnows, #8-10
Whitlock's red fox nymph,
and #10 cork poppers. I
caught 2 Carp 25-28" 10-
12lbs. Also around 18-22
Rock Bass, 5 or 6
sunfish/bluegill, and 6 or 7
smallmouth bass. I got most
fish on Ike's Crayfish and
whitlock's crayfish but did
fairly well on all flies
but, Whitlock's nymph. I
also missed 3 Carp and
hooked another Carp snapped
me off in a fallen tree.
HATCHES- don't matter much
Sulphurs, Lt. Cahills, and
Damsel flies. RISERS- lots
on bass and/or sunfishes,
only saw carp actually
riser. But a good bit of
jumpers. I fished the
Raytown Branch this morning
with Bill N. for Carp, too
give the trout a break,
(especially with the bad
water/weather conds. in most
the state). The area we
fished has alot of cottages
and is a popular fishing
area so carp fishing is a
little tougher there. I
missed 2 there and Bill
hooked 1 and missed 1. But
we each managed a few other
fishes. The carp were
mudding/tailing/ feeding
well. Limited visibility and
very skittish fish made it
tough, we had a lot of looks
and denials on all flies.
Bill only had a half day to
fish so after he left I went
to a different area there
were also many carp spread
oout and feeding. I caught 2
there 1 on whitlock's
crayfish and 1 on IKe's
crayfish and hooked 1 on
Clouser deep minnow. MIssed
the other on Both crayfish
patterns. The afternoon
turned out decent. It was
tough Carp fishing Conds.
muddy water and breezy pm.
Hopefully next time the
water will be better
(clearer). I fished a little
on the way back to the Van
for sunfish and bass did ok
but not as good a usual for
that area very few
smallmouth too(strange).
