| Yes they are a challenge to catch on a flyrod. Very skittsh it can be like stalking bonefish, many guys will target shallow water Carp as a practice fish before going after Bones. I have used beadheads, flies that look like berries, san juan worms that sort of thing. The pick up is very very sublte many times i try to watch the line for ANY movement or if I think the fish has picked up the fly I will set I miss alot of fish. And they are strong fighting fish and can get quite large. Good Luck and have fun. | |

| Brad: - Try Chittenango Creek below the Erie Canal. Lots of huge carp next to sewage treatment plant. - Also, can try the Erie Canal itself, as there are lots of big carp in there as well. John Coxey (jpcoxey@yahoo.com) |
