It's getting already quite cold here and the water temperatures are dropping steep. Not bad, but combining low temperature, hard wind and rain, the weather is not so pleasant for carping. Maybe I am getting old or too comfort-loving... Probably the latter, but really, spending nights by the lake soaking wet is not probably the sanest thing in the world, is it?
Anyway, a picture of a warm SUMMER morning carp. I took notice that the sun behind the camera isn't that good for the picture. A carp and my skin are so pale in colour, that the picture burns very easily... Not much to see in the picture, but the fish was beautiful. I have never caught that one before! Oh- and notice the camera shadow in the carps belly. It's not always easy when you are doing all by yourself!

| Take note how NOT to take a photo. This one is quite heavily photoshopped to even see the outlines of the carp. And yes, there are a lot of carpers out there doing some photoshopping on their carp to get stunning colours... Luckily I got some good release photos on this carp. |
