I know people use gigs and archery equipment to catch bighead carp. What I want to know is if it is possible, other than the occasional accident, to catch them on rod and reel with a reasonable amount of success. If so where is a good place to catch them?

I would rather be fishin'.

Carp on a fly is a big thing in many areas. There are several tournaments keying in on fly fishing for carp.

Go below Alton lock and Dam. Use to catch the big heads on crappie jigs with ultra lights all the time. They are usually stacked in there and right up on the bank. You'll have a blast

I knew there were a lot of fly fishing for carp tourneys. But they are common carp. I was specifically thinking about the Bigheads.

Ducky's right. They are stacked there now. Spring run it seems.

What's up with that weird screen name Ducky?

Looks like you are having a blast SIO3 but how do you keep the Cottonseed cake bait on the flyline? Heh heh JK

I was thinking more in terms of spinning tackle but fly fishing for them looks like a lot of fun. I would like to give it a try sometime.

GF,

Flies and in-line spinners are very similar for carp. Just big and wooly seems to work.
