I’m stuck with bath-water brutes. This summer I changed my tune though. I was going to jump on the carp bandwagon. I got my first taste of the salt in March and I realized that fishing for Carp was the closest I could get to that until my next trip south. I’d caught a few by accident before but this summer I wanted to “take it seriously”. Problem was, for some reason I couldn’t find a damn one of them! One trip after another in search of feeding fish turned out fruitless.
Last night I decided to head for an old haunt where I knew I’d run into at least a couple of those scaly scavengers. I kept it simple, tied on a crayfish, left the rest of my crap in the truck and took to the water with purupose…
Awful pretty place to fish for Carp, I thought
First I had to whack a couple bronze backs for good mojo…
With dusk closing in I finally got my shot at a tailing fish and made the most of it… fish moved to the fly, I reminded myself to strip set, and the drag started singin’…
I’d even say this fish was kind of attractive…
Have to admit, I was super stoked. Today I actually caught myself day dreaming about a possible weekend trip for these things? I know I’m a little late to the party, but I’m officially announcing my arrival.

Nice! What water were you on? If you feel like a little day trip from Cleve. head down to Mohican forest. Carp-a-plenty, and even some smallies. The scenery is nice too.
Nice fish!
