Phenomenal... what did you catch it on?

great fish di, dearnford lake [shropshire ]produced one to 44lbs on the fly a few years ago to one of the members ,they are huge in there i had one one for 45 mins and have taken them to 14 lbs myself as i said nice fish mate billyp

That must have been "interesting"!

At least one of the biggest on a fly I'm sure.

Thanks for comments guys, Billy you have shot me down. thought it was the biggest on a fly in UK. never mind still glad i had it, i have had 4 over 33lb on a fly. the fly i had it on was a damsel i tied up out of deer hair. will take a photo and post it some time this week. here are a few i have had on bait to one is a PB for the UK. 51lb plus a 48lb 12oz fish.



Cheers Dai

dai didnt meen to shoot you down mate ,you are still awsome lol all mine have been on red buzzers and all by accident while fishing for stockies just got myself a new scott 10 weight for the pike and saltwater all i need now is an invite to come down next year for the carp [and the river neath ] and im all yours for a couple of days billy p ps karl humphries will fill you in on its capture he was the fishery manager at the time

You might have an IGFA world record there

I have also heard of slightly bigger fish on the fly (I believe John Wilson had a 40 from Hommersfield)

Its a truelly fantastic feat though, jealous as hell..well done!..get it in some of the carp mags

Can't wait for Fox to bring out the Elite Carp Fly rod and bivvy package

Hi Billy, only playing mate, As regards fishing up here no problem your welcome any time

Garioch, Thanks for comments, did not know that Wilson had a 40 off Hommerfield cracker. i did hook a very big fish a known 45lb plus fish but lot it. to much week in the lake as always these days.

I did say i would post photo of fly, here it is i call it the damsel muddler. also tie it up with lead on the shank to fish sub sub-face, have had days were they will not take off the surface and flies need to fish sub-surface, i always have a mix of flies to cover it. like these tied on a Dai-Riki pattern 270. like the curve in shank seem to hook them up wellsome times.
