First carp on the fly

[fishned]

I guess the point of my post was that an obviously less experienced fisherman asked a legitimate question requesting opinions as to whether his 5 wt was adequate to go after carp. One opinion came back yes. Yours was no. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I feel no compulsion to post my fishing resume to legitimize mine. I do feel compelled to say that in my opinion there is no need for anyone (especially a newer fisherman) to cough up a couple hundred bucks when what he already owns is adequate if he uses it right.

I realize you were just trying to be cute. Just wanted to point out that others might take what you have to say seriously.
