Spent two hours fishing my favorite little Carp spot yesterday from 1:30 to about 3:30. I caught three, the biggest coming in at exactly 10lbs. One I didn't get a chance to weigh, and another that came in at 6.5lbs. They were keying in on an egg sucking leach, and a large sparkle glow-bug in pink. The fish were very aggressive to the egg patterns, and a slow sink was the ticket. I've never ginked up an egg pattern before, but that was enough to help the egg sink at a slow rate. The two I saw take the fly hit it as it was sinking.
Anyhow, if you haven't gone after Carp on the fly yet, I highly recommend it! Each fish put up a 15 to 20 minute fight.
Here is a shot of the 10lber.
