[quote fishned][quote TylerKunz]Well sure, a Barbie pole will work. It's just not reccomended[/quote]
Seriously? You fish for a year or 2 with a flyrod, catch one carp and now you are qualified to talk Barbie pole smack? Nothing wrong with throwing out your opinion, but you really need to get a little more mileage under your belt before you spout off like that.
Jeremy obviously has the experience to have successfully fished for carp with his 5 wt and actually took the time to give his opinion that was asked for. I will second his opinion that a 5 wt is adequate to use for carp or pretty much anything that swims in most Utah waters (exceptions might be big wipers or stripers and tiger muskies). Just don't get your rod back so far that you bend it double and you will be fine.[/quote] somebody obviously has his panties in a bunch today! First off while I am sure Jeremy is glad that you are his knight in shining armor and came to his rescue, you need to check your information before you go attacking people. I have been fly fishing for 15 years... The rod I caught that carp on I built myself. I know these utah rivers like the back of my hand. I tie my own flies, I am a proud tu member and have turned several people onto the joys of fly fishing. Does that make me an expert? Absolutely not, I am learning every single day from people 1000 times better than I am. In no way was i tryin to offend Jeremy with my comment. I guess it was a joke that you decided to take personally. If you ask anyone who I have fished with they will tell you that this is my true passion in life. Besides my family, it's all I think about. With that being said, anytime you want to meet on the the river and receive a fly fishing lesson I am happy to oblige... On the house of course.
