nice. i recently got my first carp on the fly. ate a prince nymph and once the hook was set the game began. the tug of war didnt last very long but it was a lot of fun.
A 6 or 7 weight rod is best, matched with a floating line. 9 foot leader is about right with 1 or 2 X tippet, 3 X if they are real spooky although you will get a lot of break offs.
It is a dry fly so to speak. Black or dark purple chenille wrapper around soft panfish popper foam tied on top of a #4 hook. It floats right in the film like the real thing. You can see what the imitation looks like a couple minutes into the video when I am opening and closing my hand over both real and imititation mulberries.

Nice story! It looks a run against time for fun, but maybe time limit is making it even more exciting... Thanks for sharing.
