How do you fish for carp?

[jimmadsen]

Here's a quick question for everyone who actively targets carp.

I have 3 or 4 bruisers in the pond that I fish, and I'd like to try and go after them.

1) what kind of set up do you use (rod, tippet, etc)

2) what flies to you use?

3) how do you handle fighting fish in heavy vegetation?

Thanks!

First question, are they grass carp or common carp?

[jimmadsen]

These would be your average, run of the mill common carp.

I cruise down to the marina grab some fish pellets chunk em on the water cast to the feeding dock pets and fight em for 20+ minutes on the 8wt.
