I'm goin' in!...........after the carp.
O M G! There are some huge carp(3-4fters) feeding in a shallow cove at a local lake. I hooked one on 1x and it promptly snapped me off. Going for the reinforcements.............
Hopefully photos to come.
If you don't hear from me, you know they dragged me in.
Good fishing technique trumps all.....wish I had it.

What exactly do you use when fly fishing for carp? I've heard of mulberry flies and stuff but have no idea what they look like or what else one would use. Happy hunting!

RIght now it's gonna be a hooked wrapped in grass and muck, as that is what they are foraging on.

Got one ! ! !
That is a 9ft 6wt rod for reference. And no, I caught it on a large spinning rod with 20lb line. Estimate it weighs ?? 60lbs??
I caught it on what we call 'dough ball'( equal amounts of flour and corn flour mixed with just enough water to make it hold together and then boiled inside a tightly-bound cloth for about 1/2hour).

Nice Fish, Im going to have to find some of those to target, my only carp was on a pocket fisherman when I was about 12 the Drag wouldnt hold and I had to hand over hand the line.

BBWe, the state record for TN is only about 41 pound, IIRC. A couple pf years ago, one of the guys in Cumberland TU caught one that went over 50. He never registered it. It turns out that it would have been a line-class world record on a fly rod. I expect him to repeat in another year or two.
