Careland wier

[Huntar69]

Just hoping that some one could give me a few pointers to start out fishing the Careland wier. I have been done there once before and had no luck. I am taking out a buddy which is new to fishing and i would like not to get skunked so he may start to be more of a full time fishermen. I have a fly rod but i still suck at it but getting better, so most of the fishing will be by spinner rod. colors for fall and maybe some hooks to use thank you in advance.

The easiest place to catch a fish or at least it is a place where I can't recall not getting one is downstream of the wier and just upstream of the campground. There is an island thru there that is accessible from the campground side where the seams and slots are very obvious. As for spinners I would use gold mepps with with black blades with orange spots I would cast it across the seam let it sink a couple of second and retrieve it straight back. Then cast again and this time let it swing around thru the seam into the quiet water then reel straight back up to you. Take two steps downstream and do it all over again.

Don't forget to post your results.
Good Luck

Do you mostly catch rainbows in that area? Any of a nice size?

Well thank you for all the info my buddy was scared about the rain yesterday so we decided not to go to the wier. I was going to be a night in but it turned out really nice and we ended up at dewits pond. A couple where rising but with n0 luck. I think you need to be there closer to the May long release of fish. Hope to go down to the wier soon. Wife is gone for a week fishing or hunting as many days as i can. Good luck this fall to all!!!!!!!!!!:evilgrin:
