I went fishing at lunch today at the local lake, hoppers were abundant so I tie on a small imitation,(I usually just get small gills out of this lake), make a cast and watch as 3 small gills come up to investigate the fly then scatter as a large shape coasts into the area. This large body cruises up to my fly, studies it awhile, then sucks it in. The next thing I hear is my reel singing as this 20+ inch carp takes my line out to deeper water. Now this is new, I am accustomed to blugills, set the hook, pull in line, unhook then cast again. The time it takes depends on how much line was between me and the fish. This was not going to be that easy. He took line 4 different times. I was starting to get a cramp in my wrist. Got him landed, took a photo with the phone (?) set him free and went back to looking for my bluegill buddys. Now I understand why people hunt these things with a fly rod.
