Confirmed another great carp water today - the list is growing rapidly.

First though, I have to say that I got my wig split by the fish at the carp water I've been fishing the past few days. I stalked around for 1.5 hours, but just couldn't do anything... The sun was clouded over, and what light did make it through somehow managed to create a terrible glare - I couldn't see a thing. There were no actively feeding fish in the shallows. I laid eyes on three fish: (1) cruising, but I had a shot and made a bad cast, (2) out in deep water near the top of the column - I tried to sneak up, but the fish spooked when I got within 30 feet directly behind him... not sure how he sensed that one, (3) right on the deep water fringe - disappeared before I could cast.

So, with 30 minutes to spare I headed home by way of another suspected carp water. I poked around for 20 minutes and saw six carp, two of which were double-digit fish. I cast at only two.... One of which is pictured here. This fish was feeding in some rocks at a stormwater outfall. The hookup was really cool: he moved to the side, and completey hid himself in some vegetation. I waited until he slipped out, and threw the fly just to the side of him into a deeper pocket of water. The fish slowly disappeared from sight - I couldn't see the carp or the fly at all... but he had disappeared right where the fly sank, so I set the hook... fish was there! Pretty small carp, but still took some line on 4 wt. I'll be back tomorrow - I saw some great fish and I only walked 2-3% of the walkable area.
