East Branch rainbows and carp..almost

I almost landed a nice carp today at the east branch.  This is my 5th time trying to target carp using a fly.  Out of the 5 times i fly fished for carp, i hooked up with 4 already.  All of them took a white size 10 bugger.  I just cant seem to land one though.  The one today i battled for about 15 minutes...longest amount of time i had a carp on.  I tried my best but it got all wrapped up in a fallen tree and the fly broke off.  It looked to be about 20-25 pounds.....

Carp battle: If you look close, you can see my leader sticking out of the water. 

Some nice rainbows: One on a white bugger and the other on a yum yum emerger nymph, size 16 in brown. Both put on a nice fight.
