Butters Luna Slay’s it at the Denver Pro Am Carp Slam

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

I cant believe it, that dirty little vato loco, that we have all grown to love has just crushed it at the 2010 Denver Pro Am Carp Slam. The Carp Slam is a tournament hosted by Denver Trout Unlimited, and teams up professional and amateur fly fishers to chase the elusive common carp on the waters of South Platte River in and around downtown Denver. The Tournament hosted anglers for 2 days of fishing in both a Pro Am tourny, and an open tourny.

Butters took first place in both tournaments, against some serious competition.

We want to thank amateur Phil Beranato for his help supporting the fist place win on day one, and also props to our boy Tyler Kendrick at Discount for raking a win on the 2nd open day fishing as Butters teammate. Also thanks to Will Rice for the sweet pitcures-you rock it!

WFN was there during the tourny to capture some tape of our friend, and Carp master Barry Reynolds and even managed to sqweeze Butters Luna into the clip.

Honestly, the kid has proven himself as a true carp master (with a big sack).

Still here to promote Debauchery!

Its true, we have been totally slackin and not keeping up to date on the blog these last few months. Frankly, with all the fun we have been having…Who’s got time for the internet, other than Gracie? A lot is has been happening and I’ll share a little about the recent haps. As you know, we had an absolute blast at the Carp Slam this year even though Teasdale and Snyder sucked a dick did very poorly and didn’t even stick a fish. Truth be told fishing hungover in 99 degree heat and not sticking a fish will drive anyone to have cmock swordfights.

Not too worry, they had good reason to miss roll call and show up late at their beats. The Primalfly pre- game party lasted till 5am friday night before the tournament. Luckily, fat guy Alex was in tow for the entire event to visually document the entire debacle. Here is a link to additional photos.

As a result of poor fishing performance at the slam, Snyder decided to head out on his birthday for redemption, packing the heavy artillery-Barry Reynolds and Butters Luna. We did fairly well, Barry landed a fish from on top of a 50 foot bridge-crazy. Luckily, Snyder was using Jake McKittricks crayfish pattern and it clearly saved the day-Thanks Jake! Here are a few photos of the day-

So with a good day of fishing…The crew decided to celebrate Snyder’s old age and contribute to his pirate like behavior. We all made it home safely….

In other breaking news…Primalfly has added a Whip to the herd with broader clearance for milling down unsuspecting trout snobs and other wise cyberfisherman. And yes, the rednecks are jealous!

Stay tuned for more…BITCHES!

Primalfly competing in CARP SLAM

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

As discussed earlier this week, all us Primalfly bitches are excited to compete in the 2009 Carp Slam tournament held this Saturday, on the Platte River(Our Glory Hole), in Denver Colorado. Our favorite place to fish, and favorite species to target-SWEET! The weather looks accommodating, the flows (136CFS) are pretty good, and ultimately this is all for a good cause-river clean up, and restoration.
