The flood has receded, but the waters remain murky. After a morning of frustrated sight-fishing, I landed a small female carp. She took my fly and headed straight for the trees. Once I coaxed her through the branches and back out into open water, she swam directly at me. At one point she actually bumped into my leg! Despite her best efforts, I got her head into the net, took a few photos and returned her whence she came.
I also had my first bit of luck jug-fishing for carp today. More on that later…
