What kind of Carp? I fish for LAKE carp and Grass Carp.
I CAN use a 6 weight on the Lake Carp, but the river/grass Carp I prefer an 8 weight.
I use floating line on the rivers and if they are rolling on the surface on stillwater, but I also use a sinking line (Type II) Or a sink tip.
Flies, I use Rainy's Carp Collection with luck on the Hex and the Corn Ball.
On the Lake, Haresears, Prince Nymph and Woolly buggers.
They are a very spooky fish, so stealth is a must.
Site fishing is a must!
Just keep at it and HOLD ON! They hit like a freight train.
