They are one of the most challenging fresh water fish to catch on a fly. They can be stalked in flats and fight harder and longer than any just about every other fresh water fish. The problem is perception. People perceive them to be trash fish but that perception is changing. All I know is that I enjoy the challenge they present and they offer me a chance to catch fish when the salmon and trout are out of season.
I've caught a carp about 2kg and that was funny. It was a Abramis brama, and it was much alike that carp. but it had not that energy and power. I am just wondering what kind of ly you used to catch one of those?
All those carp in such shallows.....flyfisherman's dream.
