    I like the look of those carp fishing forums too... Them folks are serious about a Carp...

    I want to tie something on with my 8wt so bad I can taste it... Bye the way, Anyone ever notice how close a carp looks to a redfish?? All it really needs is a spot near its tail and I bet you could throw alot of experienced Redfish fisherman for a loop... I wish I had photo shop to test my theory..
    I think casting corn on a fly rod will be very difficult. I know you can buy artificial corn, though. You'd have better luck casting that.

    As far as those guys being serious about carp ... you have no idea! I'm pretty serious about carp, but those guys are hard core. The local CAG guys are a very nice bunch of people.

    Agree completely on the carp/redfish similarity. It's a mystery to me why people travel for 10lb reds and ignore the 20lb carp in their backyards.

    I've caught them on stonefly nymph patterns and CDC imitations of cottonwood seeds. I have a secret pattern also that I'm not ready to turn loose of yet... hehehe

    Good point!

    There's more "glamou" associated with redfish than carp. That's probably why.

    However, I remember that as a kid, I loved fishing carp. They were big, strong and tough. I always thought they were a great fish.

    Now, many saltwater fly rodders are heading for carp waters to fish for them.

    I've never done it (I want to do so soon), but I understand they can be really tough.
