Don't know if anyone has seen this, but I was browsing through Fly Fisherman's website and stumbled across this. Fly fishermen are stereotypically trout snobs (though that's quickly changing). I just thought that it was cool seeing a "trash fish" gettin some respect from the trout snobs (though the author of the article is hardly a trout snob). http://www.flyfisherman.com/midwest/dwcarp/index.html

Whitlock has been espousing the virtues of the bugle bass for a while. I like fishing for carp and I like to think that most reasonable fly fishers are at least open to the idea.
And if they aren't, well screw 'em!
When I gets the cravin to chase fat girls, I call on Bass Bug

I've been trying flyfishing for a couple years now, and still learning and making mistakes everytime but getting better. Personally, i really dont care what takes my fly, or any other bait/lure for that matter. I have just as much fun catching bluegills as i do carp, bass, catfish, or anything else.

I'm out of my mind, it was smart enough to go fishing or hunting without me.
