I made a small little fly thing out of some wood the other day, and recently I have been testing it out on the local ponds for grass carp. It is so fun watching the slow, but exciting chase then the bite off the surface, and hearing the drag scream when they make 30 yard runs. I will be getting a fly reel very soon to use regular dry flies, but I can't cast them on ultra-light gear so i just made one out of wood.
I have caught a few on it already, all under 15 lbs, but a pond less than a mile from my house is packed with 30-40 lb giants. I havent gone there yet cause the place where they all hang out is too far to cast the little wooden fly (20 - 30 ft). Can't wait to catch some giants on a fly reel.
Anyone else here fly-fish for grass carp?
