Flys for Carp fishing
#13
I just returned from South Africa where we caught several large carp on fly. During summer a midge hatch in late afternoon leaves them scattered on the surface. The wind blows the midge bodies together into a scum line. When the wind dies the carp come to the surface and suck them up. You can see hundreds of mouths sticking out the water. You have to cast 6 to 8 inches in front of them with a floating fly that they can see (not very picky) and they will swim up and swallow it. Hard work but worth the reward when you hook up. Great practice for accurate presentation.
