Gorgeous fish!  Nothing like flats fishing on the big ponds.  What lake and which side were you on?  

The first annual UCC invitational is going to be on the Michigan side of Lake Michigan later this season, and these pictures are making me want to get out there now.

It's northern on the L MI side.  No secrets as the area has been spot shadowed a ton in the major rags.  It's a pretty amazing fishery really and fortunately overlooked by alot of people.  Let's hope it stays that way!

Wow great looking carp and very nice photos as well. 

I'm a bit curious if you don't mind sharing, what type of fly pattern did you use.

Thanks for sharing

As if my carp addiction was not bad enough... those shots make me want to hop in the car and head to MI now!  Prime season no less!
