I've been planning on making a trip down to Ray Roberts for some carp fishing on the flats.
If any of you subscribe to Southwest Fly fishing then August 2009 issue had a good article on this. I went last year with great success but the problem is I have some days off during Spring break but was wondering if the water was to cold. I'm not a big carp fisherman so I don't know too much about them.
Anyone out there been lately or have any ideas?
The water was fantastically clear last time and I just waded the flats.
Help much appreciated.

Southwest Fly Fishing magazine has a free pdf download to try out their magazine, I just found out. They have an article on carp. Some may like it, some may not. They did not speak too highly of carp at all.

I have always heard that carp were trash fish but after stalking some I realized how fun it can be!
Don't count them out!
