Is there anyone out there that is into carp fishing with the flyrod? I have been fishing Chartiers creek a couple times in the last week or so and managed to get hooked up twice but nothing brought to hand yet. I learned very quickly that fooling one of these fish is no easy task. I do have some bowfishing experience with carp and know that they are very spooky and that they release pheromones when scared, but what I'm after here is fly pattern and presentation advice, as well as where some of you may be fishing. Not looking for specific location but rather do you prefer fishing in lakes or moving water and why? Stream carp seem to be fairly neutral most times and it is hard to find activly feeding fish to cast to. Any input would be appreciated. I'm going to try out the lower Yough later today and into the evening and I will report back tomorrow.
