I see that at this ...Hey Zonk!<BR/><BR/>It's Don from Canada. I see that at this point you are absolutely, undeniably addicted to flyrod carp. You are also fast becoming very good at it. <BR/>I am going to a lake tomorrow to fish for crappie but i know this lake has a healthy carp poulation so if the crappie don't co-operate I'll be cruising the shoreline in my kayak looking for carp. If and when I find them if the bottom is conducive to it, I will wade and sightfish for them. (If you never hear from me again you'll know the bottom was "quicksand"!)<BR/><BR/>Respecting your expertise I would like to know the following. <BR/><BR/>1.Should i use my 8wt. 9wt or can I use my 6wt.<BR/><BR/>2.How much backing? I only have one reel with backing on it thus far.<BR/><BR/>3 Floating line, sink tip, Stillwater intermediate clear line?<BR/><BR/>4. Weighted or unweighted flies? I usually fish weighted flies on my floating line and unweighted and buoyant flies on a full sink line.<BR/><BR/>5. What two flies would you recommend I tie up today in preparation for my first ever flyrod carp experience?smallmouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17476632608226045201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6869043479132255473.post-66844362111036941772007-06-05T18:41:00.000-07:002007-06-05T18:41:00.000-07:00Hey Steve!Thanks for dropping by.
