Carp are the most underrated game fish in the Great Lakes, and the Carp Carrot is the fly that is slowly converting the skeptics. These are not your grandfather's ditch carp -- Great Lakes carp tail on sand flats like bonefish, spook at shadows, and fight like they have something to prove. The Carrot lands with a whisper, sinks to nose level, and gets inhaled by fish that outweigh most steelhead by twenty pounds.
