Orvis had a photo contest called "20 Days in September" going on all month.  It was a fun challenge to get out an fly fish as much as possible.  I was able to get all 20 days in and made a short fun video of the adventure.  I caught bream, carp, bass, and a snapping turtle.   I didn't fish hard and had fun trying to get some cool photographs....you can see those here:

Thanks!  Yes, those are grass carp.  They were introduced to control vegetation.  More importantly they are so much fun to catch on the fly.  The big one in the clip took 2 days to get an eat and 9 mins to land!

        Believe it or not they are very tasty too. White meat! Had a few of them fried. Nice big easy to find bones :)

You know, I have heard that a lot lately.  I'm almost tempted to try.  I hear the bones are as big as toothpicks.

You're both right. I looked again and I was wrong. 

Carry on.

Well it was my bad. I just didn't look at the body and gave a quick glance at the head. I quickly noticed the eye placement and went on about my business. Quick ID's don't always work. LOL!
