Well... a size and color is not too specific. Care to tell more? by the way, it may take more than an hour for responses.

Koi...overgrown "goldfish" variant, actually an exotic member of the Carp family. A Japanese developed critter. I caught a big'un on a flyrod while posted to Ft. Riley, KS. Often released into public and private waters.

Koi don't really hit artificials as far as I know anyways. Maybe once a blue moon.

No, of course not. I lied. I made the whole thing up.
Actually, it's a rare fish found only in the Great Gray-Green Greasy Limpopo River in Africa. It sometimes reaches a length of 32 feet and can weigh up to 6,749 pounds (dripping wet.) The natives call it "M'falakkawakkaboodlyakisakiwantsomeseafoodmom ma" which, translated from the Zwahili, means "White fish that dines exclusively on certain internet posters with comprehension skills lower than those of an adolescent turnip". For some reason, the Japanese insist on calling it a "Koi" Care for a swim? Ever heard of Google? FlyFastRunningOutOfPatienceRod Last edited by FlyRod; 06-14-07 at 02:48 AM. |

Thats not a koi. Thats a carp. Look at the body shape. Carp. Trash. Kill.

WTL - excuse my ignorance, Why kill the carp? are the bad for the bass pop.? There are huge carp in the lake and ponds I fish... Should I try to thin the population? It wouldn't be too hard, it would make for some good bowfishing! Thanks for any info...

its a koi that flyrod pictured, I have raised them and have two of them tattoo'd on me....note the small whisker towards the mouth, characteristic of a koi, a carp doesn't have a whisker that small and up close to the mouth.

Back to the original question-is the water muddy? I've caught them in water that looks like chocolate milk that are white, or rather very pale.
