“‘Oh yeah, there’s a lot more people getting into it–carp are hot,’ said Andy Kurkulis, owner of Chicago Fly Fishing Outfitters Ltd. ‘It’s kind of hard to say how many [fly fishermen] are doing it, because there is still a perceived shame. A lot of guys don’t like to talk about it.'” Charles Sheehan writes about the growing — if not easily countable — numbers of fly fishers who chase carp in and around U.S. cities in the Chicago Tribune.
