Alright! This is the fishin' trip I've been waiting for! The highlight of the spring. The big matchup between the Fabled Flyrodders and the Super Spinning Catfish Duo. And it proved to be all I expected. A matchup of Titans. Thanks for the report. I only wish it weren't so far to drive or I would have been out there on the water with you all - takin' pictures if nothing else.
And Ah! Carp. FG, you slipped over to the dark side for just a bit, didn't you? You found out what kind of a flyrod quarry those Golden Bones can be. Your comment, "I have a new quest....I want Carp" is a classic. That's the way it hit me, too, and I haven't been able to shake it since. Just remember that those fish will only get hotter as the water warms. Those long runs that take you well into your backing are more a summer thing. They're a bit sluggish yet in the cold water.
(You guys who are shaking your head from side to side as you read this, just go over and lie down in the corner.)
Anyway, great report. We all hope to see a rematch one day soon.
