Re: Carp!

Big carp on a 4 weight, a real challenge. I prefer the 8 weight when going after carp but sometimes they hit bass flies when fishing the 4 wt. I've used hoppers, chernobyl ants, poppers. Like Fanatic said, stealth is the key. My biggest problem is when they get close to shore they start to thrash and usually break off my tippet.
