St-Laurence river carp

[Sabalo]

My good friend Antoine and I headed up to St-Laurence river shore in Montreal area this morning hoping to find carp. We spent some time to locate them, it was windy and the water was murky. When we found them they were very concentrate . We ended having great fishing day 5/10. Most of the carp were taken on brown Clouser swimming nymph and on foxy minnow.

nothing like a carp on a fly rod!

Sabalo,
I live about 1 hour from Montreal - in Northern Vermont- and have always wanted to fish the the St. Laurence. I was wondering where on the St. Laurence is there easy access for wading and what license/permits does a non-resident need to fish Quebec?

Hey dublhaul you do not need to go all the way up to Canada. Plenty of large carp in lake Champlain. You saw the you tube videos on streamandbrook.com in the"Gallery" right?

[dublhaul1]

Yeah I saw that video...it's the same distance to Lake Champlain as Montreal for me- so I guess I'm just checking my options. Do you fish much in the northern part of the lake? I've been over there so few times that I often feel a little overwhelmed when I do go...I like Missisquoi Bay for early season pike and later in the summer I've fished around the islands for smallies...never seen any carp there though. Are they tough to locate? Hit or miss fishing?

I grew up in Grand Isle. I have never targeted carp for fishing but there is a lot around. They are in the swampy areas.

Whoa, wish we had them like that around here

there are 30+ lb carp in central park and prospect park in NYC. you will have to catch them when they are feeding on the surface as the water is not clear.
