Carp And Suckers - Will They Take Flies?

[ozark trout fisher]

I don't think it matters what you throw at them, it only seems to matter if catch one feeding and not looking up for you. Once you spot one feeding and you can get close enough you'll get only one or two casts before its spooked. In a stream setting carp feed heavily on crawdads, minnows, and macroinvertebrates. just like our speckled friends in the cold water.

They are supper fun to sight fish for and can double and eight weight so don't bring anything less than that unless you don't mind loosing them and playing them for 20minutes or more....

good luck and let me know if you need someone to run a boat for you.

This is from my first carp fishing trip....

I hooked into one at Montauk Lake on a White Marabou... Snapped my 4# pound test before I even really knew I had him on.
