Still highly irritated with I82 Pond #4, so I decided to skip it. Went up to Scooteny to see about whacking a carp or two with the bow, since I had a couple of spare hours. The conditions were very good - sunny, no wind. However, the irrigation district in running a *ton* of water into Scooteney right now, which caused a lot of problems. There were lots of carp, including some very nice ones probably in the 20-25 pound range. However, they were swimming 5-6' down in fairly turbid water, making shooting them very difficult. Had to do a lot of waiting until the stupider specimens went by in ~2' of water.

Can't figure out why the irrigation folks are trying to turn Scooteney Reservoir into Lake Missoula...

Pre or post Flood Missoula? Glad you got out. How many "stupid" ones did you rid us of?

Only two, 8 and 6 1/2 pounds. Another couple of shots I shouldn't have missed. Everything else was running too deep..

I hear Dupont and 3M make good carp spinners.
