    I dont know got em , after many catches and 25 years it seems like C&R worked pretty decent. Yea it could have lived far longer in a more natural state but it had a good run if you ask me. Those salmon & steelies get named pretty much as well, see spot run , 2 fly, 3 fly, there goes christmas tree

    mine is the chartruse fly in the jaws

    I wish I did!! Those british carp get pretty big, over there all the lakes/ponds are privately owned and people pay to fish on them. They will camp out on a pond for weeks at a time, throwing out bucket after bucket after bucket of bait.
    That's why when you see pictures of euro carp they are most often ROUND


    Also, because these fish are caught so many times, the fisherman over there go to extreme lengths to care for the fish. Everyone over there has a nice big soft mat to lay them on so they don't hurt themselves on the bank, and they even have antiseptic to put on the hook wound.
