Kids and carp on the fly

I snuck out with the kids for a little river exploration and fishing recently. The plan was to cast at a few carp and then explore for crayfish but the river is still so high we couldn't find any rocks to flip over...but we did find a few carp! Here are the kids with a 21 lber.

I would hook the fish, then hand the rod over to the kids. I had to wear this 23 lber out for a few minutes before JJ towed her to the net.

JJ's favorite part is chasing the fish through the shallows while Elia fights them.

I think Elia's favorite part is holding them...and letting them go!

Great time with the kids! Won't be too long now and they will be hooking these beasts as well as netting and fighting them.

Nicely done.

Ok, that is it. Time to put on my internet detective hoodie and get to work tracking down your personal info so i can find out where you live. Once i do that i am gonna stake out your house every day until i see you leave with your fly rods. Once you do i am gonna follow you to your monster carp water to find out where you are getting these beasts.

Thanks guys...great day on the water. My kids are old hands at the carping thing. JJ touched his first carp at six weeks old (front pack) and he fought his first carp on my four weight at 18 months old. Elia fought her first one at 22 months.

I need to make a small fly rod for them...Elia is really interested in the concept.
