Judging by the lack of anything but blue in the sky, Sam had the perfect day to snipe some off of Ken’s skiff this weekend!

Carp can be notoriously picky so it’s nice when you find happy fish up on the flat and a clear, high visibility day!

Nick got out to walk some of the infamous flats in the “Caribbean of the Rockies” last week and struck gold! A good way to both give the trout a break in the heat of the summer AND get dialed in for his trip to Mexico in a few more weeks!

Nonetheless, walking a flat with a fly rod in your hand will never get old whether you’re looking for carp, bonefish, permit or otherwise!
