SA Shooter Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Having had a couple of sunny days my wife hassled me to go out fishing, an excuse to get out in the sun. Good enough for me Carp on the fly is not always easy and boy it was one of those days. Fishing was hard and only had 4 in total but the last one was well worth it. I got this 15lb 9oz common on my 5wt and manage to land him 35 minute later. First decent one for 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Fish on the fly, they use flies shaped like chum mixers round the midlands and do get a few as the presentation is very delicate. Well done.

Lord Geordie Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 He even photi shopped the carp to match his reel n line :lol: It's very satisfying when your hard work pays off in the end. I once spent all day Pike Fishing with lures and was raking in jacks upto 6lb and litterally on my last cast, I chucked into a 18lb one that took a good 15 mins to work in as i was fishing with 8lb line. Just took up Fly fishing myself and looking forward to getting out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a fly that I've tied with Deer hair. You can buy these now which I've tried but found that the hook is exposed to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
