Grinning and Bearing it '21

[fishskibum]

I like your style.  Great pics and narrative.

While I don't pursue poopfish...to the exclusion of other species...I have been knowed to deliberately try to catch them on occasion.  I have had some memorable days when these scaly buggers have been cruising shallow and visible.  A small jig hopped in front of them usually gets slurped and the battle is on. 

Some folks compare their shallow water runs to bonefish.  I have caught bonefish.  And I think a carp tied to a bonefish...tail to tail...would pull that silvery fish inside out.

I have used carp many times to help train youngsters or older newbies in the arts of fighting larger fish.  And until some elitist poisons their good memories, most who have graduated from carp still harbor fond memories of those sessions.

Seems to really be some tanks in BRBR.  Have you worked Flaming Gorge for those bigguns?

yeah i ussually try to throw in on the gorge when im in that hood
theres some legit 3'ers in there

im half tempted to go score a summer job in a dutch john fly shop and  open and close every day and carp fish 10-2 every day
funny thing is the majority of my crew poo poo's the poopfish
and i cant expect someone who came from swinging up metalheads in the pnw to embrace the sloberknocky ugly
i did head to that hood to kick off our camping season
headed out last weekend
dork dog dont like the road anymore and cant relax in the backseat so he took out the switch stick in the first hour and it
turns out ya dont wanna heat the jetboil canisters to the point of expolsion
and ya we dodged a coulda been way worse bullet
the cup hit him
never found the burner/stove unit
maybe in orbit

i did redo my wilderness 1st responder cert the weekend before that and i can honestly say having that knowledge and instinctually going into the ems system they all use helped and its time and money well spent
he did manage to row a bit and score 1 on the streamer and one on both the dry and dropper that day



there were sunsets and rises
