enjoy!   *** pro tip:  go to the youtube site and watch in 1080 on theater or full screen mode.  You can see some fish milling about and you can see the one fish come in and snatch up my fly. Worth watching in HD!!

That makes me really want to get into carp on the fly! They look so strong!
Do you find that for carp you need to have pin point accuracy though? As in, drop the fly a little ways away and they won't bother coming to it?

accuracy needs to be pretty on point.  Carp do not forgive a bad cast, they're very spooky, you have to sneak the fly right in front of them in most cases.   Although, when they are feeding on certain items, like crayfish, they will chase a moving/drifting fly.  This happens more so in the great lakes, but ive had them chase leeches and hit drifted bugs and corn imitations in rivers as well.

thanks.  believe it or not, a corn imitation I came up with.  i start by wrapping the hook in lead wire, then I cut out a heart shape piece of yellow fly foam (I actually use dollar store craft foam) and fold over the lead, tie off,super glue the foam together and coat foam in head cement .  The combination of lead and foam make it sink very slow and stand up at the bottom of the river bed.

a good place to get practice around there is at the park, in the stream that feeds the duck pond.  may 24 weekend, they open a barrier and let all the water in to fill the pond, as soon as they do that the carp pile in like crazy.  good practice grounds there.gotta use small flies for them though, theyre turbo spooky
