    Arizona?  Gila trout?  San Juan River?  Know of a fellow who drives out there each summer, spends a few weeks, and guides on the San Juan.  Used to do a lot of trout fishing but age has a way of preventing the rock climbing that is necessary in these parts.  May do some this year.  Carp fishing is much easier on the knees.

    Franky, would you share your favorite flies, techniques, and strategies for the group?  Thanks.

    Lots of interesting trout and other species around there for sure. I'd definitely like to mess around in that area at some point and target some of them. But Phoenix is one of the best cities there is for urban carp fishing. Koi, commons, mirrors, grassers, quantity and quality.

    I didn't get to fly fish much this trip but I played around with ultralights and caught some fish. I'm no expert at this but I can certainly post some of the flies I use and such when I get a chance.

    I'll be going to the events in MA next week. Should be good, lots of interesting presentations lined up and at least a couple are going to be talking carp. 

    Fly fishing for carp may be my favorite way to target them, and it's too bad there's not much mention of it on here. Carp on the fly is getting mainstreamed though, lots of pictures and info floating around other platforms. Still would be cool to see more of that here. I'm going to be fly fishing for some next week in Arizona, I'll throw up some reports and fly pictures afterwards.

    I am guessing New England guys will be shut out.  I checked a number of spots....no fishable water for me due to icing.  Even fast moving water was frozen solid from the extreme temperatures of the last week. Coldest FFF I have ever seen here in New England.

    Great job by all who got out and caught! Unfortunately everything near me was also frozen up with the extreme cold spell we've had and I didn't get out, although I am planning on ice fishing for them later this week

    Neponset river carp

    They are certainly in the Neponset into the brackish sections, although probably not quite as far in as some of the towns you mentioned. I haven't fished it perosnally for carp so can't be much help as for spots, but I do know they move into some if the more brackish stretches. Heard from striper guys they'll see them.
