Most of the fun of carp fishing is getting the fish to take the fly, he explains as he removes the hook from the homely looking fish’s gaping yellow mouth. While Boname would not advocate protecting carp or stocking them in additional waters, he says as long as they’re in a lake and can’t be removed, you might as well fish for them. Boname admits he gets some enjoyment from the weird looks he gets from anglers on nearby boats who see him happily reeling in carp after carp. Although Mark Boname is serious about giving carp some props as real sportfish — serious enough to retire from guiding trout fishing trips — a lot of his enthusiasm for carp fishing is tongue-and-cheek. Carp Unlimited bumper stickers and hats are for sale at the Platte River Fly Shop, the fishing store Boname has operated in Casper since 1994. Boname leads full-day guided trips for carp at Pathfinder and Alcova reservoirs for $400 for one or two anglers. read more
