Catfish Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Thanks to Flycarp for helping me get my first carp, and on the fly! Thank you for the advice and flies. I ended up going 2/3. Awesome meeting you. #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flycarp Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Awesome I wish I could have stayed long enough to see that. I forgot to ask if you tied your own flies. Those are a couple of solid carp - hope they gave you a good scrap. hope you were smiling under the mask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sure did put up good fights, and yes I do tie many of my flies, particularly the streamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bow Man Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Nice guys, great to see members getting together to help each other out, great stuff. Out curiosity what weight rods are you fellows using for carp, I would presume 8 weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flycarp Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Mostly 8. There are some big fish out there - 7 is ok but 6 not good enough. lots of backing required and a good drag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
