Can you tell me what line size are you using for carp fly fishing ?

6wt ? 7wt ? 8wt ?

[barryreynoldsflyfish]

@teats875 I prefer a 6wt rod but most people i know will use a 7wt or 8wt! Really depends on the water, size of fish, and the flies you are throwing at them. Like I said I prefer the 6wt as most of the carp we catch run in the 6lb to 12lb class and a 6wt is more than adequate for them. a lighter rod will be more sensitive and forgiving on light leaders and tippets...

Nice Barry! What is the fly you were using? Carp Candy?

[barryreynoldsflyfish]

@dalhopgood we were using Clouser Swimming Nymphs, Whitlock's Near-N-Nuff Crayfish and a variety of other small crayfish patterns we tie using marabou! They love their crayfish!

Sure nice to see you on the hunt for a big carp Barry but i do like it a lot more when you're fishing for pike with the flyrod!

That made me decide to learn flyfishing and go pikehunting with streamers!

Only catch and release ofcourse!

@barryreynoldsflyfish Where would I find these flys? I went this weekend and saw a few feeding fish, but they weren’t real interested in what I had to offer.

This video really shows that fly fishing is so just so much more than fishing on trout!
