Az Fly Carpin' (Pic Heavy)

I followed my wife out to a conference in Phoenix. While she was hard at work, I was hitting the community ponds real hard! I had never caught a carp on the fly before, so I hired a guide my first day. I used the guide’s 6wt, when else can we slap the water with over a $1000 rod and reel. The next day I used the 3wt.
I gotta say, the 3wt was a lot of fun!

I know what everyone says, no pic no fish.

Well here you go!

They're fun on a fly rod, aren't they? It looks like you actually have a couple of Koi carp and a Koi x carp hybrid or two. Beautiful fish, either way. Well done.

The Ol' Captain has a similar honey hole for Koi.
It's a lot of fun and some beautiful fish.

That's awesome. I've tried to get them on fly several times but realized my redfish flies were a little to big for them after doing a little more reading and research. I bought an assortment of carp flies but haven't been back out to try them. Looks like you had a great time though!
