Flies for Carp?

(1/3) > >>

NJChris:
Anyone here fly fish for carp? I hooked into a huge one today and ended up losing it, but man was it an epic fight. I was using a size ten wooly bugger going for panfish, but was wondering what the guru's are using for carp.

Water Wolf:
I have never fly fished for carp before, but I did come across this interesting carp fly.  It is suppose to represent a cottonwood or black poplar seed that carp sometimes eat when in season.:)

That's an interesting one. I don't tie my own flies, but I'll have to see if I can find that. I knew carp eat a wide variety of things, but I've never seen that before. Thanks for the reply!

Hi NJChris,
Here is another plant related fly a few folks use for carp ----> http://thesimontons.com/flyrecipes.html
This one may work were you find mulberries close to carp waters. ;)

Carp sure seem to enjoy tasty plant snacks more then most fish it seems.

I was thinking some salmon egg pattern flies might imitate mulberries fairly well
