POTAIRE, how did you do fishing stealies in the carbon, as for me i havent fished it this year but i did have a day where i hooked 3 fish and lost one last season on the carbon and over all in 4 days or so hooked 5 fish, i think the carbon is a fun river to fish, look for areas where say the river is shallow then goes deeper, i would throw my corkie up in the shallow water and let it wash down to the deeper part and thats where i would get my hook up, hope to hear how ya did...**schitzo**
