NOTES
Grass carp on dry flies
Arizona Canal
The carp are still eating flies off the top. These carp really thrive in the heat. So expect very actively feeding fish. A very accurate cast will go a long way here. Getting the carps attention is vital, so dont be afraid of a slap happy cast.. cover ground and stay hydrated. its hot and gonna get worse. I always cover my skin rather than sunscreen. Big hat and good glasses are a must. Luckily canals are all in town so cold drink are jever far away. Be looking for "heads" that are rising fish.
