Went back to the carpin' spot again today (I now have a "Fishy Friday" lunch break tradition) and landed 6. Still nothing huge. But jeez! I am exausted!
One fish I fought for a good 10 minutes before I even saw him.. it takes an awful lot of stamina to pull those boys in, they just do not get tired nearly as quick as a trout. So it's super super delicate work getting the fly in front of the carp without spooking it, and then BAM! it becomes a matter of muscle.
Really starting to love it.
