Go to any pond at any park in Colorado and carp will be swimming lazily near the shore. Most rivers and streams are the same. The large fish, often weighing between 10 and 20 pounds, has been shunned by fisherman in the United States for years. However, there is a small group of fly fisherman who are setting out to catch carp as their sole target, and their numbers are growing.
Even some of the prominent members of the nation’s fly fishing community are coming forward with tales of catching carp. One of these is Dave Whitlock, a world renkowned fly tyer and fly caster. In his article, “Stalking the Golden Ghost”, he shares his insight on catching carp. He claims that carp “are faster than a trout, stronger than a permit, and have more staying power than a small mouth bass.” Read more

The Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission on Wednesday voted to open a black bear hunting season beginning Oct. 1 in four southeastern Oklahoma counties.
The bear season (archery and muzzleloader only) is contingent upon lawmakers passing a black bear hunting license, but commissioners on Wednesday also created two other new hunting seasons that do not need legislative approval.
Bow hunters will get a two-week archery season for antelope in the Panhandle beginning Sept. 14. In northeastern Oklahoma, elk hunting will be allowed on private lands. Read more
