First thing, nice fish Leonard. Second thing, I would think a 30lb carp would be hard to come by in missouri. I have baited up and caught many at loz. largest caught was an 18lb on 5x, largest witnessed coming in to the bait was not much larger than the 18. I have done that for several years and never witnessed a carp much larger than 20.

So if you bailt them do you use a flyrod and bait or work a fly over the bait field?

Nice fish and that video clip is too funny!

Hey Leonard you didn't say if you released him or he's going on the wall or in the frying pan <;0) 0 0 0{

Howdy Wayne. Once you get them coming in to the bait, almost any fly will work. It is best to suspend the fly under an indicator. The carp will eat any color, but white or pearl works best on the buffalo. Since the weekend I have caught a 16 lb buffalo and a 6 lb carp. They are just now starting to get active and cruising the shoreline. I have not had a lot of success with streamers and other big stuff. A sowbug or scud imitation on a 10 or a 12 seems to be the ticket.

Thanks Laker. I see a lot of them below Powersite dam and I've caught a lot of them on conventional gear, but I can't get them to eat a fly. I'll give your method a try. I can get them to stay around on deer corn.

They're a blast to catch.

Last year I started using using gravy train, seems to put alot of scent into the water. When I would bait up in deeper water, say 10 feet, I would catch a few blues and channels. The catfish like the white or pearl. With dog food you have to put it in a bag with some weight to sink it.
