Carp on the fly

[Tyler0420]

Walked around for 2.5 hours looking for carp to sight fish. Seen a few but no luck. Caught one Rudd looking thing.  Going to sit on the bank now and spin  fish the rest of the day.

Do you have to sight fish carp with a fly rod is what I’m wondering I’ve always sight fished them with a fly rod but would chumming and then running wooly bugger or some kind of bread imitation work ?

I’m sure it could help bring them around but they might be feeding on corn rather then flies.   It’s worth a shot though.

First fish on the fly rod this year.

No walleye. Just some Rudd thing.  

After fly fishing I sat at pier 8 and spin fished carp. After 2.5 hours and realizing I was fishing in 30fow I moved to shallower water over by the boat launch.  2 hours there no fish either.

I probably should of stayed where I was flying fishing and chummed the water and spin fished instead. Atleast I knew there was carp there.
