I've hooked monsters on PT nymphs, globugs, and buggers.

Clouser crayfish too!

Thats the easy part is finding them the hard part is finding a nice spot were you can find them mudding and be able to sneak up on them enough to get a fly in front of them and not shoot a sloppy cast . Use big nymphs and small crawfish paterns :-D

Have you seen Ian Colin James' website? Chock full of carping tips, and he's very funny! He uses a modified steelhead nymph -- something like a steelhead flashback, very interesting. He calls it a "muncher nymph." -- Ian is known in carping circles as "the carpfather."

I used to live in phila, and there were plenty of murky, carpy waters there. -- Do you fellas have any suggestions for other parts of the state?
