High Water Carp

I don't know about you but for me this high water spring/summer has been tough fishing wise.  All the local waters are very high.  Looking at the USGS site of NY is an open invitation to depression.  Yet sometimes when conditions are tough necessity pushes one to find some new water.  My bud Mike and I hit a spot that I'd done ok at times and when I arrived there were numerous signs of feeding carp.  Mike took one cast and landed this nice fish.  I cast to dozens of fish and never touched one.  Such is the game of chasing carp with a fly.  We will get back at them soon enough.  Must find other spots as the fish were spooky and when a guy showed up with a bow we knew why.
