Does anyone target carp in or around vantucky?

Looking for options to fish for around here.

Never fished for carp that far west, but carp have to be there - look for big C backwaters along about May. Enjoy!

I know they fish them in sections of The Snake... believe that to be the closest opportunity for me now? I tried fishing for them near Moses Lake some years ago - after seeing one of our members videos. I saw some mudding, but could not get anywhere close enough to make a cast. The water was flat and clear and they are a wee bit spooky. I cannot recall the guy's handle who specializes in this fishery over in the Columbia Basin... perhaps someone else knows? Suggest sending him a PM.

North of Portlandia, cross the bridge...

Vantucky Lake & Sauvie Island are both interesting options.

Not the video I mentioned, but this guy certainly found a honey hole. Fly looks like a Crazy Charlie pattern.

Stop into orvis Portland. They have a boat load of info on the subject.

Are you thinking @MrP ?

The Dalles has great spots. Sauvie island has good spots. Also check out the sandy river delta.

Look up John Montana, he does the carp on the fly blog, and fishes around Portland.

Cool video. I like Korn for the soundtrack. He does it like I do, even has the same boat. Row around until you spot tailing carp, ditch the boat, and stalk them on foot.

@karnage, in the spring Vancouver Lake has lots of carp in the shallows. Sauvie Island has some easy wading.

Rocky Ford passes the time and scratches an itch in the winter but this time of year, more and more, I dream of warm summer days.

I'll be doing this fishery come spring. It'll be my first season doin it, but I'll definitely give it a shot.

I too will give it a shot. PORTLAND ORVIS is big on it. I have been reluctant but the Steelhead fishery is abysmal this year.

I have been reluctant but the Steelhead fishery is abysmal this year.

I live a quick jaunt from both the Sandy and Clackamas (20ish mins to each from my corner of PDX) and have landed one fish in about 8 trips. To say it's been abysmal is an understatement.

And those numbers are me fishing gear. If I can't catch them on spoons and centerpins, something's wrong.
