flyfishingtaz 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 Hello guys, how ya all been? gotta question for ya all. I gotta friend who has a nice big pond, some call it a private lake, and it's overrun with grass carp. Now this isnt a bad thing in the midwest, with all the pond scum that gets in the pond like an infestation, but now it's almost mud due to the lack of foilage in the pond. It's deep so bowfishing is out of the question. Any thoughts on deep flies for carp?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

duckydoty 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 Green deer hair just spun on a hook. Wait untill they mow near the pond then just throw the deer hair next to some grass clippings in the water. Should work good. duckydoty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joni 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2008 I have been catching Carp like crazy the past couple of weeks. They are Grass Carp but they are in a river not a pond. The flies that work for me on a constant basis are Bead Head Prince #12 and In the Rainy's Carp Collection, the Carp Hex and The Popcorn Ball (they love the PC Ball) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
