That's awesome. Thanks a ton man. I wasnt able to get out east this weekend but hopefully soon. I fished a small pond near downtown but didn't have much luck. Full moon and cooler temps may have thrown the bite a little. At least that's the excuse I'll use!I

anyone ever fish the creeks around the area? im not sure if now would be a good time to do so with all the rain, but some look like decent habitat... also, anyone ever target carp? always wanted to land one on the fly, didn't know if there were and urban ponds that catered to carp around here hopefully ill be doing fishing this weekend and able to give a report on Monday. thanks

No, unfortunately not me. Only went out to Johnson the other day for a short bit. Gabriel, tudo bem? My fiancé is Brazilian too. We live downtown Memphis. Let me know if you ever want to fish sometime. Nice catch too!

WDE , really appreciate the info. Awesome catch too. The lady and I live downtown Memphis so Collierville is a little haul but not terrible. Definitely worth it if I can get some fish dialed in. I'll have to spend some more time at Johnson and try the civic center as well. I tried a few ponds at shelby farms when I first moved here but only caught a blue gill with the fly. Saw a lot of bass just no takers. Ran into an older guy there that was also tossing a fly and he said long gone are the days he used to go out there and pluck 20-30 in an afternoon. I guess it just gets too much pressure (?). If anyone knows of something closer to downtown, let me know. If not , no worries, I'll let ya know how I do next time i make it east. Thanks!

Hey guys, first time poster. I moved to memphis this past May from Florida. I'm a fly fisherman mostly, but will fish however. I went out to Johnson this Sunday for the first time and slung a little wooly bugger for only 20mins or so and caught a little speck (crappie). Just wanted to see the place and didn't have the time to really zone in on anything. Might try to get back out there this weekend. Anyone else mainly use fly around for the ponds around here? Or any other spots that give decent room for casting from the banks? Thanks in advance!
