Sweet carp and trout. That open water sure looks good. Still too much ice here where I am. Just got back from a few hours on the ice and I measured about 15 inches.  :-\

u think you got alot of ice, we still got over 3 feet here but the river finally opened up and the carp are starting to move back to the dam ;D

it was fun, I was using a md-hv action rod with 10 lb firline with 12 lb seaguar leader for both fish.  I love the fight. I fought a carp a few years ago with a lite action rod 4 lb test and it was a 13 lb 31 incher!!!!!  and my biggest ever was caught on 8 lb flourocarbon that was frayed.. it was 38.5 inches and 31 lbs 27 inch girth!!   I love a big battle

Slim jim eh?  Good thinking!!   8)  The trout stream you like to frequent should be pretty good soon too.   ;)
