An associate in the fishing department of Orvis Yonkers, Christian Medina explores the concrete jungle in search of fly-fishing opportunities. In this video, he finds plenty of willing carp in the Bronx River. If you think they’re just babies, make sure you watch until the end. Gives a whole new meaning to the term “Bronx cheer.” That’s life in the Big City, son.

The picture reminded me of my youth.
I fished the Bronx River for carp in the 1960’s. The Botanical Gardens section was my favorite. Of course I would have to sneak in the fishing gear or make the gear on the spot.
I also participated in the river restoration project by the Southeastern Sportsman’s group out of White Plains.
Hopefully(a long shot,I admit) the river one day will be an urban clean watershed.
