BassThumb Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Anybody here like to fly fish for carp? It can be a lot of fun sometimes. A 10-20 lb carp will wear you out on a fly rod. It's about as easy as it gets to sight-fish for carp with a worm fly. I just use bead-head worm flies that are basically a gold bead and a brown pipe cleaner rigged with a twist similar to a Flick Shake worm. Give it a try if you haven't already. Quote
Derek84 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Agree 110%, on one of my local "big bass" lakes I always get crazy looks when I'm pulling up 10lb carp on a fly rod. ;D Quote
trevor Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 My favorite kind of freshwater fishing is light tackle carp, either fly or spinning gear. Around me (Lancaster, PA) there are so many what I would consider "world class" carp fisheries. The Conestoga, Susquehanna, Mill Creek, the Pequea, and tons of little streams. I love to use little "Trout Slayer" plastic crayfish by Leland's Lures on 6lb line and an Ultralight spinning rod. Or anything buggy as a fly. Quote
