Symbolic: come unprepared for carp and things must be shoe-laced together. No belt; no fighting butt; 4 wt rod; 3x tippet; no wading staff.


Main goal: MET. A new carp on the fly guy born. This fish was filter feeding just below the surface. Put on zebra midge and within 1-2 minutes, Joe had it in a fish mouth.


When's the last time you've done this?: stood in strong current, on treacherous rocks, holding a ~15 lb carp on a 4 wt in your left hand while taking photos of your fishing buddy with your right hand and also preparing to net his fish.

Worth it though, no question.

We do more carping before 7 AM than most people do in a week.
