How about O'club topics that shouldn't exist? Carp fishing is a blast, and very challenging. They even have college courses to teach fly fishing for carp.
Indeed! In another life time I used to flyfish,likely too much. Some time in the early 90's carp became a goto flyfishing target. And it exploded!
I used to catch them by accident as I never targeted them but when fishing for bass I would accidently hook the odd carp. Next thing I knew it was in all the flyfishing books and guides were actually taking fishermen out for carp.
When you hook a 15lb plus fish on a 6 weight rod,you better hang on and be ready for a long fight,sure they dont jump or get all fancy but when they make those 30 yard runs and you recover line with a fly reel,well you tend to feel like you just went 10 rounds with a heavy weight!
Besides they are invasive and need to be culled!
