I was fishing for the GSH today with a pellet fly on 2# test on an ultralight spinning rod/reel Shimano Spires RG, St. Croix rod). I cast to what I thought was a GSH, but it turned out to be a carp. After it took a couple hundred feet of line, the hook pulled out. O.K., time to break out the 7 wt flyrod. After a few casts, another carp grabbed it and headed towards the other side of the lake. I finally got it stopped with about 3 turns of flyline on the reel, right before it got into the backing. It took a while, and a few times I lost all the line that I gained, but finally it was ready for the net. I was suprised when it turned out to be only around 8#. It must have been working out! One of these days I'll bring the camera..... While they aren't bass, they are a blast to catch!
