another day of carpin

I caught this one on an orange egg pattern in a NYC lake.

That is a great catch Bill. What would make it extraordinary is if you caught it during the Subway Series. That would be a dedicated angler in NY.

I heard from a friend that carp will take an orange egg pattern( dry or wet). I used a few drops of water shed on the pattern to get this clooper.
this carp was caught friday evening during the series w/ deer hair fly.

Holy cow !...Well done

Fantastic captures as the Brits would say. I really enjoy chasing these guys too. With the price of gas going for a crazy amount and the weeds on the small spring creeks getting taller and taller, I am getting ready to leave the trout behind and almost exclusively chase carp with my fly rod.

Did you take the one after dark?

I exclusively sight fish them. I see the fish that I want, cast to it and watch the take; I then set the hook on site alone since it is a very rare thing to even see the slightest line movement.

Glad that you are having fun.
