caught today at the Glen of Rothes trout and Coarse fishery,on a consett Budgie fly,by Andrew More,just started fly fishing .

Weighed in at 18lbs 2ozs

(Blood is from a hook he got in his finger after landing it)

Fish was safely returned to its rightfull place and swam away none the worse for wear.

wow, started off with salmon then trout then pike and now carp,

where will it end,

great looking fish,

well done bud!!

That's a great looking carp - how they should look, with big shoulders and not a hint of a fast food (boilie) gut. Great effort to land it on trout gear.

super carp. would love to catch one on the fly.

Agreed - long lean commons are beautiful fish, nothing like the gut-bucket mirrors that so many waters rely on.
