Bow fishing?

Post by Xwisconyfisherman » Sun May 22, 2011 9:28 pm

Just picked up some bow fishing gear and am looking for some help? Has anyone noticed any Carp spawnign in the shallows yet? I know last June or July I fished Rock and noticed a bunch of big carp. I don't mind the drive down that way but its a trip and would like a heads up if anyone has noticed any heavy spawning action? Does anyone no any other decent spots closer to spokane?

My carp guys tell me they are close to spawn but the water is so high everywhere it may be delayed.

Long lake has a good population of Carp.
They should be in the bays by now.

Red Rock, near Royal City, in the report I posted about a week ago. They were NOT in the shallows at that time though. Skimming, not too far from shore, multiple large schools in multiple locations around the lake. Heaviest concentrations were where the mid point falls is located, in and around that bay. Those heavy rains hit after.....
