[cool][#0000ff]Carp are lots of fun on flyrods. They will take flies just like trout. However, they are often more difficult to catch on flies than trout. It also works better where you can see the fish and the fish can see the fly, in clear water. Not much of that around here.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]There are quite a few carp clubs around the country and some that specialize in fly fishing for them. There are even guides that offer fly fishing trips for carp. Here is a link to a video on a guide in Texas that does that. [url "http://www.laughingbass.com/speer.asp"]FLY FISHING FOR CARP[/url][/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Here's a pic of a big ol' mirror carp I caught on a small chartreuse fly I was fishing for crappies up at Willard Bay. I was using about 4# leader on a 5 weight rod, so it was a long battle.[/#0000ff]
