[Fly rod carp video]

I've only caught a couple on fly but they were some of the most fun I've had.Also the carp I'm most proud of.Thanks for the site.

I've spent more time this long winter ready all the great info and tips given so freely on this sight that I can't imagine not improving my personal bests.Thanks to everyone for sharing.

[Carping with the kids]

Judging by the smiles I'd say that you've got them hooked.And it looks like you've peaked the interest of the other young spectators.

[Time To Ponder (Again!!)]

I've been asked by my better half (none fisherman)many time, how can you set out their all day (or 3) and not catch any thing and enjoy it? I've concluded that I'm an eternal optimist,something I've had since I was a kid when my Dad would have to threaten to give a wiping if I didn't reel my line in right now.I have always had this Idea in my head that the minute I pull my lines I just missed the opportunity of a life time.The only difference these days is that I often find myself on a bank with others of a equal mindset and doing it in more comfort.I can't wait to get out their as soon as the ice is off and catch my personal best,I fully expect that to happen my first time out.
