Big news from the New York Times this week: Carp are officially gaining as a “fly-fishing favorite.” According to an article by carp promoter Chris Santella, this so-called trash fish is providing treasured opportunities because carp “are a species you can sight cast to with a fly rod without traveling to the Caribbean.”

Fearing a mobbing by rabid anglers and media alike, carp featured in the story—including those swimming in Denver’s South Platte River—are in fact booking their own tickets to the Caribbean. Cyprinus Club of America (CCA) spokesfish, Montrose Crabcakes, left for the islands on Monday morning.

Crabcakes says, “I ain’t no sucker, I’m outta here.”
