Peace

Man! Cool thread. What weight fly rod do you guys use with those carp?
Those Grassy guys must have an attitude because they are missing such a pretty mouth???
I have been a very marginal recreational fisherman for years and just getting back into it more, lots of fun to be had. Thanks to all for all the cool photos.

I think your right Ron. At first I thought it could have been some genetic variant.
I've caught rainbows out at Lees Ferry, that have no spots.
But...I also caught a fire mouth Cichlid out at lake Wohlford, in So.Cal. I wonder if someone did some aquarium cleaning.

Were you too young?

Fritz, I was 17 and at that time jus' barely too young (19 in MT--although, I left the heavy beerin' up to my old man, as he more than made up for me:-)
note: We did this float in a fibreglas drifter--not done too much any more due to lower waters (this big snow/rain year it might go)
edit: Possibly the "best" deep water-soloing in Montana? Virgin limestone awaits.....

A venerable german brown I pulled out of the Merced in the Yosemite backcountry, late 80's. It measured 21 inches tail to beak.

As I said earlier, NICE FISH!
One of my more memorable fishing experiences was casting a dry fly upstream of the Merced Bridge with Coz spotting from the bridge. I'd given up on the cast and was stripping a drowned Stimulator back when I hooked into a nice three pound brown. I'll never forget standing in the river below El Cap, Mother Middle in the background and playing that fish. Cozzy couldn't believe I'd caught it and was even more flummoxed when I pet it on the head and gently released it.
