lilpixiblue For where I was fishing, considering I've only seen people pulling up Sunfish there and caught this guy on a Pheasant Tail Nymph. I've been rained out of both Wenham & the Merrimack due to the rain the past few days, but that was pretty cool.

lilpixiblue Dammit, is that a golden shiner? Anyone? Lol

scoobystas doesn't look like a carp, but yes more like a golden shiner

tacklesmith Yep, shiner. But a nice one. Where they are, the bass and pickerel are typically not far behind.

deaffisherman That's definitely golden shiner. Not carp. But nice catch anyway!

lilpixiblue Aww dangit, I'm mad at myself for not knowing better than that!
Well, now I gotta take my new carp flies down to the Merrimack in Lowell and pull up some monster Carp!
lilpixiblue I'm admittedly pretty new at this freshwater game. Caught my first bluegill today too (Huge one, for a bluegill).
I guess the shape is just a little off and it doesn't have those carp "whiskers & sucker mouth", but between the color and the scales I was easily mistaken.
