A lot of guys are flyfishing for carp in our area - or at least I'm noticing it more. The guy in the photo below lives to the north of where I live and as I understand, he's fairly new to the sport. I don't know him. This photo was featured on a carp fishing forum. Its such a pretty fish I thought you guys and gals might enjoy it. As I understand it is an Orange Koi. Apparently among carping enthusiasts, this type of carp is called a "Highway Cone" and is noted for its bonefish like runs. I wouldn't mind hooking one of those on my bug rod. Would tow the Super Fat Cat around the pond - no doubt.
