How Fly Fishing for Carp Helps the Trout Angler

Perhaps counterintuitive to some, the recent surgance in  carp fishing might actually be of benefit to trout, states Kirk Deeter in a recent piece about these “strange bedfellows.” Getting folks interested in fly fishing, getting them out, and getting them passionate about habitat is what’s important.
