Was interesting to watch Steve but i personally think it does a dis-service to the guys that hunt Carp on fly as we would hunt trout, i have caught carp on fly and sight fishing to them is very difficult,i think chumming the water to catch them is not really good sport, i also think the tackle used was over kill a 5/6# is plenty with a floating line and 3x/2x tippet is also adequate unless you know there are big monsters lurking in the deep I caught this one on a white leech.http://www.flytalk.co.za/forum/album...pictureid=1228

Nice carp Nicholas top result!

'Sight fishing' (fly rods) for carp is quite common in our warmer weather States.

Hi SteveC

Thanks for sharing

One of the videos is called "Frank catches a 20lb carp on the fly"

http://www.visionflyfishing.co.uk/carp-on-fly.html

A large carp is indeed landed on the fly, at which point Frank sticks a great big hook through it's mush so he can weight it.

Not what I would expect from the Vision website!

More carp on the fly and the sweet corn fly.

This is a good thread but should be moved to "Fly-Fishing For Other Species". The Classic Coarse fishing section is really for bait fishing.
