Carp Fly swap

A few weeks ago Lonny from Colorado emailed about a Beaver Island carp trip, which he ultimately booked for July. In the email exchange he mentioned that he was doing this cool carp fly swap at the Fly-Carpin blog. Kevin checked it out and it did look cool with some big names and friends like Will Rice, Jean-Paul Lipton, John Montana, and Barry Reynolds involved (the carperati?). A few emails later and Kevin was invited to the party.

And check out this cool post over on Fly-Carpin’ about Morlock’s Bunny Craw.
