Finally back on the fly!

Finally found something to throw a fly at.  The grass carp are back up.  My bass fishing is slowly ending.  When the grassies eat on top I can't pass them up.  Instead of writing about how awesome it was here's a video from the trip.  

Skinny water Carp'n on the "Glass Flats"

Sight fishing grass carp on the "Glass Flats" has got to be one of my favorite ways to fish.  Not familiar with the term.  It's the shallow flats when they are as smooth as glass = "Glass Flats".

Beautiful coloring so I took it out of the water for a quick picture.  Nothing else taken from the water today.

That situation doesn't happen very often.  Weather being the number one factor.  The area I'm speaking about needs no wind b/c it has no protection.  The water is not much more than 15"s deep.  The grass carp are on high alert in such shallow water.  They can't ghost out in the murky depths so they run like wild horses.  All these factors make this the ultimate challenge in my opinion.  It's a kayak fly anglers dream.  When I checked the weather/wind forecast for today.  I knew I was going to be in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon mode on the "Glass Flats".  Pictures to tell the rest of the story...

Pinched the barb and released everything beside the kayak

Skinny water - paddle deep

Love when I see them tailing 

When you suck and it all goes wrong...get'n gone fast

More tailing

Not as many fish caught in the skinny water but that's the nature of the "Glass Flat".
