Carp?

Lake Murray doesn’t have a large population(never seen a common in 5 years).

Live near Lake Murray and was thinking Hartwell or Wateree?

Any nods of direction would be helpful.

Thanks

I know they’re in the congaree…commons. Your right…all I’ve seen is the big Asians at Murray which are way too frustrating for me…although I keep tossin. Olive wooly buggers look like grass…
Wateree has common carp

hartwell’s got commons but i’ve only seen a few that were feeding up shallow. I fed one a couple years ago with a herring fly that was floating on the surface in open water adjacent to a school of hybrids though, it was pretty wierd

I used to fish Lake Marion a lot for crappie in the spring and we would see a bunch of carp up in the shallow water around Persanti Island.

Thanks…when the better half was at Winthrop I used to kill em on the Catawba. Figured Wateree had to have em. Time to splash the skiff with some “dirty” water, Murray’s way to clean.

I have seen some grown amurs on Murray, but those deals will not eat(at least not for me)

had a buddy that caught a grown amur on a big swimbait. Maybe they are like everything else in Murray…love a (**() blueback

wooly buggers dood- if the world came to an end, id have a .22 and a wooly bugger
