Carp Fishing

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Carp Fishing

Post by Gravelguy4 »

Hi Guys,

I haven't posted on here in a while so i thought i'd share a personal first for me.
This is my first carp on a fly.

Caught it on a #10 prince nymph, 6lb tippet and a 6wt rod. Took nearly 20 minutes to land in the current.

managed one more that day a bit bigger but the pic is terrible.

That one was 29"

I think i love the carp.

Good job! must have been some awesome fights on that fly rod. I caught a 12lb'er the other day and my arm was so sore after the fight, that fish took so many runs lol. Carpin is great.
