--I went out for carp on Friday afternoon on the C&O. It's become an obsession. The water was extremely muddy when I got there, so I had a feeling it was going to be a wasted trip. Instead, best day I've had going after them. I ended up landing three but losing five more. There were quite a few feeding up against the edge, but that was only half of the ones I hooked. They were extra spooky today. I had always had a problem with the fly sinking out of view and not being able to see when the fish bit, so I finally remembered to bring a strike indicator. I had to be careful with the casts, since it would spook some of the fish, but it made a world of difference. I actually even picked up one fish that I never saw, aside from the puffs of silt from it feeding.Three of the ones I lost wrapped me on a log, and one broke on the hook set. One even took me into backing (just barely), the first time a freshwater fish has done that. My biggest of the day was a 26" fish that was FAT. I'm not that good at estimating weight of fish, but I'd guess it was 8 lbs plus.
