These fish might be easy to catch but make the most incredible and thrilling runs, especially on a spinning setup and 10lb fluoro. Caught a few grassies, a catfish, and had a 15-20lb common break me off just as I was landing it.

      No, I walked through a little alley between the two restaurants. I think it helps that I buy food from them too. @atxflyfishing

      That was last year it may have changed since then.... Did you walk through the restaurant to get there?

      Really? They seem to encourage fishing there. @atxflyfishing

      @fierce_flies wild carp that don't eat people food are very smart, but like @joeyfishes said these are trained to eat and only take a few minutes to catch

      Thanks, these carp are used to eating food that has fallen from the restaurant so they're sort of domesticated. But fighting them is why I fish for them, it's ...more such a thrill @Fierce_flies
