...well kind of.
thought I would try to catch some of the big carp up here in the lake so I went out the other day looking for them. Was polling across a large sand flat and ran across a few big'uns. Couldn't get them to take any of the flies I had, but it was fun.....Like fresh water redfishing. I'll get me one soon though.
the water in this picture is about 2' deep and those lily pads are about 10-12" across, to give you an idea about the size of the fish.

Been wanting to try that....we need to make some bread and corn flies

Time to get the Bow....

Lake Moultrie in SC is loaded with huge Carp. There were hundreds of them schooling around in the shallow flats.

Don't take too many of them out Barhopr, they have done a fine job eating that grass down there!

Very cool Mills. Make sure you post up when you put one in the boat.

I know down here the fly guys use red berry flies for the carp. The carp collect under the trees when they are dropping berries and will tear up a red berry fly.

gonna try all the old standby patterns.....
I will surely post up when one comes over the gunnel...u do the same on the salt water silver

Smoked Carp dip.

Just bought a book by Bob Clouser. He shows a small clouser deep minnow he uses for carp fishing made from red fox hair. If you want the ingredients for it, I can list them...

sure thing SD, list away.

Said he used a size 8 seems too small
6/0 light cahill unithread
1/80 oz lead eyes red W/black pupils
Belly: cream colored guard hair from a red fox tail
flash: gold crystal flash
back Black tipped red fox guard hair

I tied a couple (had a fox tail) like a regular clouser minnow...looked good in dau's pool where I try all my flys. I figured I might try it sometimes around an oyster bar for a red..
