Permission to Board

I had a guest in the boat today.  TP has been around the fly fishing scene in this part of the world for a long time, and yet, we've never spent any time on the water together until today.  We only had a few hours to fish so it was natural, given his like for carp, that we try our hand on the mud flats that have recently been on my radar.  The problem came in the way of wind and clouds.  Visibility sucked.  We posted out on a few spots and saw fish, but they were either too close and spooked before we could take a shot, or they were in spawning clusters and NOT thinking about food.  After a couple of hours of fruitless carp'n we opted for the sweet pluck and tug of gills.  Not a bad way to spend a Saturday.
