Nice fishing, anything on a UL is fun but that carp looks like super fun.

Thanks! I'm very happy with the rod, had a medium action 2wt. But this fast action 1wt feels so much better to me! I want to fish it every dag:)

after watching TAFISHING videos of carp, I can imagine that bigger one being an epic battle:-)

The 3rd picture, with the detail of the dotted line in the fish's scales, is pretty amazing.

It is a dream of mine to fish every day of the year. Thanks for the pictures of those beautiful fish. Love my one weight rod (Sage SLT). Paul
