Tips For Successful Carp Fishing In Summer And Winter

Summer

Talk to any angler and they can expound for hours on the joys of carp fishing, whatever the time of year, but summer has got to be a favourite time. It?s tranquil, relaxing and exciting all at the same time. Here are some tips to help make your carp fishing even more enjoyable.

? Summer is a good time to try out new baits, rigs and ideas of your own

? If you are a regular at a particular water, study the fish movements to see if you can establish any patterns that might give you a clue as to where to fish on future occasions

? Look for obvious feeding grounds, for example, beneath overhanging trees and amongst weed beds

? Carp are very active in the summer months, enjoying the sun as much as we do, so eventually they will give themselves away

? Try choosing a bait which is similar to the natural foods that are around in abundance at this time of year, such as fruit and nuts

Winter

The once plentiful natural food will disappear during winter, so carp will try to gain as much weight as possible to help them survive the harsh weather. As with any cold blooded animal, low temperatures will slow them down a great deal, so it?s a good idea to locate the carp before you set up and start fishing.

As far as baiting is concerned, try to adopt the little and often approach, offering about 15-30 baits over a session. Loose feed these a couple at a time at regular intervals of about 30 minutes and try not to spread the bait around too much. As in the summer, it?s a good idea to try using bait which is similar in flavour to what is around naturally. Swan mussel and crayfish are still active at this time of year so if your venue contains these, try something like this.

Hiking, Camping And Fishing In Idaho's White Cloud Peaks

Hiking, camping and sightseeing in Idaho?s White Cloud Peaks is a pleasant way to spend a day or more in the state?s central recreation area. When this unique part of Idaho is on your family vacation itinerary, include this location for a treat.

Traveling northwest between the towns of Ketchum and Stanley, Idaho State Route 75 borders the Sawtooth National Forest to the west and the Salmon-Challis National Forest to the east. To get your bearings, stop by the Sawtooth National Recreation Area office at 5 North Canyon Road in Ketchum and pick up a map or two. A downloadable map and information can be found on the website for the Boulder-White Clouds Council at wildwhiteclouds/theplace1.html

Along this route, scores of creeks born in the surrounding mountain ranges add to the flow of the mighty Salmon River, the River of No Return. The mountain pass at over 8,700-foot Galena Summit has an overlook with parking and restrooms. You will want to stop to stretch your legs and to admire the incredible view across the vast valley to the rugged, snow-crowned peaks of the Sawtooth Mountains.

Moving on, you will travel down the mountain highway into the beauty of the Sawtooth Valley between the small towns of Smiley Creek and Obsidian. Just before Obsidian, keep an eye out for Fourth of July Road heading east of the highway toward the ghostly White Cloud Peaks. Appropriately, the road follows Fourth of July Creek for 10 miles to the trailhead near Blackman Peak. This area suffered a severe fire in September 2005, but has recovered fairly well.

The road is a washboard, but careful travel in a high-centered, 2-wheel drive vehicle equipped with backcountry tires will suffice. Four-wheel drive is best. From the trailhead, a series of day hikes and longer excursions can be undertaken. A popular day hike for families and beginners is the mile and one-half trek into Fourth of July Lake.

Campsites are available on each side of the picturesque lake or in more secluded areas nearby. The trout in Fourth of July Lake tend to cruise near the shore, if fishing is on your mind. Head up the inlet of the lake to get a look at deer that usually congregate in the large meadow, and keep an eye out for mountain goats on close-by Patterson Peak.
This area is covered with mountain heather and other wildflowers in the summer months.

You can hike from this point into other areas dotted with alpine lakes and spectacular mountain vistas. Washington Lake is just over a mile from Fourth of July Lake. The trail climbs 200 feet or so and then drops a like amount down to the lake. Fishing is easier and often good at Washington Lake. Try to find camping in a location other than the most popular sites close to the lake outlet.

There are well over 100 alpine lakes scattered throughout the White Cloud Peaks location. Many still lack names. Other named lakes and points of interest include:

• Ants Basin and Ants Basin Divide


• Blackman Peak


• Boulder Chain Lakes


• Born Lakes


• Castle Divide and Castle Peak


• Champion Lakes


• David O?Lee Peak


• Heart Lake


• Phyllis Lake


• Six Lakes Basin

The White Cloud area is a popular hiking spot with easy to moderately difficult hiking trails. It is picturesque, with the alabaster-hued White Cloud Peaks as an ever-present background. Bring your camera, your own water, good camp food and plan to spend a night or more camped along your chosen route.
