How common is it for carp to eat a small fly spinner like a Joe's fly? I fish it at normal to fast straight retrieval.
There is about a half acre pond in my development that we can fish. It's stocked with largemouth, sunfish, rock bass, crappie, and carp.
It's a real pain(although a great fight) because I use an ultra light rod with 4lb test. I usually have to step into the pond to grab them since it has a steep bank and I can't lift them onto land w/the line since they are 10lbs+.
I have hooked three carp this summer already. Are the carp just pressed for food or is this common?
