Are these fish eating or is this spawning behavior? I really would like to catch some on a fly, but I will mix up some bait if I have to! Well, not going to be able to tell much from stills, but couldn't figure out how to upload video without hosting someplace else.

Very likely spawning behavior. I have had zero luck catching when they are actively spawning. I have caught them while they are staging for the spawn and post spawn.

Well done. Those were probably staging and getting ready to come in to spawn. She apparently had a good time.

We saw one hanging out that was probably 20lbs or more. When I took the original pics, several days ago, there were 2 or 3 in that size range. Are those likely females? Are carp like other species were the males are usually smaller?

From what I just read, males and females are generally the same size for the 1st 5 to 6 years. The females then grow faster and bigger than the males.

Thanks for the info. We will have to give this a try. My pb Buffalo was high 20's, low 30's. It was 20+ years ago. I can't seem to find a pic of it. I keep thinking "surely I would've taken a pic of that?", but maybe I didn't. Digital sure has made archiving these such things easier! Note to self: put scale in gear bag! Thanks again!

Love the smile. They will always dream of the big ones but just love to catch fish. Great job.
