Fly fishing for carp in the US is getting to be a very popular thing. There are carp tournaments in the Midwest than follow UK rules. Generally takes a 30 lber to have a chance. I've fished for carp with some of those guys. A whole different set of tackle and gear and tactics. The biggest carp I landed was a 16 lb fish and they kind of looked it as we would a planter rainbow. Fishing is more expensive in Europe and most of the waters are private. Europe also has a dedicated group that tournament fish with super light rods for basically minnows. Can't wrap my head around that.
