It’s been kind of a tradition of mine over the past few years that I spent some time on the first morning of the traditional PA trout season chasing carp with the fly rod. I went out early this morning (don’t have to wait till 8:00 to fish for carp) and caught my first carp of the 2019 carpin’ season. The fact that I inadvertently left my net laying in the bed of my truck made it even more challenging. I managed to land the 27” carp without the net. It’s been about 10 months since I actually stuck a carp with the fly rod due to last years strange weather and high, muddy water conditions. I also had a huge catfish hooked this morning but lost it (not sure if it was a bullhead or a channel) but it put up a great fight. Looking forward to a much better carpin’ season in 2019 than last year. Here’s to tight lines and sreamin’ reels!
