Perhaps we should work on a FAOL carp and bluegill festival! Something roughly the social equivalent of a monster truck rally for the fly fishing community. LOL!
Seriously, though, I'd like to do something in that area myself. I've been kicking around trying to set up a bluegill fish-in of some sort if there was enough interest. It would be easy to add carp on it and broaden our horizons.
I haven't really actively targeted carp, but have managed to hook into one or 2, including one on my 2 weight. They are fun!

Better to be an active environmentalist than and environmental activist.
