The next hot quarry in fly fishing...will take my fly rod the next time I go to an amusement park or somewhere that has them, and see what kind of fight they put up!

Yup. Caught a couple when I was a teen in the Skuke and just saw one in the Perk a few weeks ago.

There are a few in the Conestoga too. They are hard to miss due to color but spookier then carp.
