Muck

I did a bit of carping today. I had a very brief window while fish were cruising through the flats. I stopped to watch one fish when I noticed the my line was moving. I set into what was clearly a foul hooked fish. I let the line go slack and fortunately the fish came off. To avoid the skunk I ended up catching some redbreast sunfish out of a rather disgusting little spot. It was short sleeve weather today!

    I know you have notice this, but I will tell you anyway the redbreast fish can survive in some pretty disguising places-----pretty fish---thanks for sharing

      Thanks.
      That is honestly quite an amazing thing, but then again I specialize in all the unusual and unlikely things in fly fishing! I think it is the blue spotted sunfish that lives almost exclusively in oxygenated acidic waters. Fascinating.

    I remember that spot. I caught a chain pickerel the size of a pencil. Must be something about that water.
    Tie, fish, write and photo on...

      Yup that's the spot! There has to be something strange going on in there....
