I started seriously fly fishing for carp almost a year ago, funny thing, I caught two while I was fly fishing for bass and now that I'm focusing on it, nothing! I have read enough articles, believe me, I have done my homework but I'm still not catching carp. There is a river on the back of my local pond and this guy was catching them left and right with spinning gear and tortilla and he tells me I should bring my spinning rod and try it. I'm ashamed to say that I agreed with him, heck I even bought a couple of sinkers and some hooks but then I couldn't force myself to leave my fly rod.
I have two fly boxes full of carp flies and yet nothing...it's a little bit frustrating so I put away my 7wt for a while, picked up my 3wt and started chasing bluegill bass for a while.
I guess I'm not the only one frustrated over this, I think there aren't enough carpers (at least not in AZ or here in SoCal) who can share the experience.
Thanks
