Tougher wading the shallows with a fly rod for carp than tackling bonefish on the flats. Also, a lot less expensive.
Yep. Have done both bonefish in the Bahamas and carp in the side-channels of the Missouri River here--which is the first 30 miles below Three Forks where the Gallatin, Jefferson and Madison come together to form the Missouri. Most of it is trout water, but the side-channels are full of carp, and they have to be stalked and casted to carefully--when then they take the line puts up as big a "rooster-tail" as when flyfishing bonefish. Carp don't make runs as fast as bonefish, but they're stronger, pound-for-pound.
