Thanks for the post. Last summer I discovered 3 mulberry trees on the lake I live on and the carp were feeding. I tied on a purple popper (the closest fly I had in my fly box) and I hooked into a 20lb. I never landed the beast. I tied some mulberry imitations but by the time I had a chance to get out on the lake the mulberry hatch was over. This year I will be ready with my 8wt and an arsenal of mulberry flies. The carp on my lake are smart and wary, especially when the bow hunters arrive. I have only hooked 6 carp on my lake (I only sight fish) in the last 10 years and have yet to land one. THIS IS THE YEAR!!!!!
