Carter, yes I did. I thought it might be a Carp. The water was very muddy as you can see in the boat pic. At first I thought I hooked a Stump. Then the stump swam under the boat. Very cool fish.
Zach, yes we were sight fishing on Percy Priest for Carp and not the Caney. In non muddy conditions you can sight fish to 7 to 10 pound Carp that readily take a fly all day. There is about 3/4 a mile of knee deep mud flat that stays full of Carp all summer. Standing on top of the console you can literally put a fly in ones face from 60 feet away.
We got slammed by rain all last week and the water had almost 0 vis. BD can testify of the numbers of fish we spooked because we just couldn’t see them.
The Simms shot was done under fluro lights (not enought light) without a tripod. It could have been better but even at low quality there’s something about it that I also liked.
