I've fished in some of those ditches for the elusive ditch pickle. All I caught were some crabs.

I did attempt to spey up April Vokey once. I Got a a possible nibble at the fly (was probably the bottom or a bottom feeding fish/carp), but she was way too smart for what I was offering and she left up river to spawn.

Guess my spey rod only works miracles once.

PS. That last lady needs to shave her carp. Looks awfully unhappy bushy to me. A happy carp is a clean and shaved carp!
