I heard that Swan Lake is now also a non-fishing spot.

Let people look...who cares what others think about you.

I love getting the looks...and then you hook up big time and land a 15lb carp in front of them...and then everyone freaks out and wants to take pictures of you or with your fish. Kooky people

I have never caught a carp yet - I heard they provide a really good fight!
Pictures with kooky people, yeah Make sure to present the best smile
