I'm not really a carp lover, but there they were. Nothing else was hungry, and they were sipping away at micro midges. Roughy a dozen of them in the 3-4 foot range(why are these things so darn big?). I had tied on a #10 marabou muddler figuring that if the bass, trout, gills, crappie, saugeye, and whatever else was in the lake didn't have a taste for small, they might like a larger fish dinner. Hmmmm, SMB about 6" came outta nowhere, BAM!!!!!!!!!! the fight was on. Released him, and went back at it. Saw the carp move on it, dropped the rod tip letting float to him, POW!!!!!!!!!! the fight was on. He turned right, tighted the line. I'm thinking "what the HECK am I thinking. I only have 4x 6lb tippet tied to a 5x leader!" I lifted the rod, set the hook, BIG Mistake. Two head shakes had dinner was spit out. Now this all took place in about three seconds. Better stop rambling here.

The marabou minnow, everytime I threw it in, the carp moved on it. Found a new carp fly.

If flyfishing were a sin, I'de be the devil's right hand man.
