I have been wanting to do this carp on the fly thing for a while, and this morning Flygoddess was kind enough to take me out and show me the the ropes on carpin... I was not dissapointed!
After losing one that got wrapped around a log and then another right before I got him in the net, I finally landed this guy. I had no idea the fight I was in for but what a rush it was! It took a while to land him on my 6wt but I am absolutely hooked. Its not easy to fool these guys into hitting that fly but the work is well worth it!

I also managed to pick up a few small bass as well. Those were another first on a fly rod. Two fish off my fly fishing bucket list in one day...I'll take it! So a big thank you to joni for always being so willing to share her passion and knowledge of this crazy sport we all love so much, We need more folks like her... Fish on![fishin][inline download.jpg]
