I have caught Carp as early as mid March on the flats of my home lake. But, for me, the unofficially official start to "Carp season" starts after Memorial Day weekend. I like the heat. Catching Carp with long pants, shoes and a jacket on just doesn't feel right to me. If it's too cold to go out on my skiff in shorts and barefooted, it's too cold out. So June, July and August are my favorite months for poling the flats for Carp, as well as Gar, Drum and a few other species that frequent the flats. To commemorate the unofficially official start to the season I did a pencil drawing - "Carp Turning On A Backstabber." (fly). So, to all you guys that are chasing Carp on the fly, go get 'um.

WOW, Incredible!!! You are talented.

Another great work of art Capt!!! Need to get you and formula462 together on the wood side of art.

I have a great respect for people that can draw. I do ok catching fish, drawing them not so much. Thanks for sharing. Carp really fight hard.

J-Moe and Osborn - I don't consider myself an artist, just stubborn. Sometimes I get lucky and they turn out the way I want them to. But, thank you. Your righ.t Osborn. They do fight hard

Robert - Thanks my man! Does formula do some woodworking?

You are an artist with a pencil, with a camera and with a fly rod. Cheers my friend!

Nicely done!
