Carp Fishing in America*



Many** of our readers have inquired as to how I first met English Jonny. I was in the Cleveland Wrecking Yard, shopping for another method of making walnut catsup.


English Jonny tapped me on the shoulder.

"Excuse me," he said. "I thought you were a carp fly."

"I'm not," I said.

Then he wrote "Carp Fishing in America" on the back of my shirt.

[Editor's Notes: *This makes no sense to you now, I know. But it will. Also: **None]

  3. Is teej planning a cross country carp tour? I am thinking that a carp hunter gets to fish some pretty exotic locales. Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Trenton, the bronx. These places I can only dream of fishing.

  4. Dr. Brayshaw is now off-line as he rides the 600 miles from darkest Ohio to Connecticut via fast food and unclean sanitary arrangements. Please hold while we go fishing.
