Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} CARP help.

Tyler, do a quick search on this board. I did a post on these a few months ago. I chatted with a few experts out at Mossy Creek. Basically, unless they are feeding on the surface, you're probably not going to have a shot at them. If they are on top, toss a small beetle, popper, etc. The grass should work if someone is mowing the lawn and spraying grass clippings into the water.

I have never had this site at my disposal, so I was never able to asked truly educated fly fisherman this question. Okay, so I am heading up to PA to visit family tonight, and will be there for around five days.  Near my house is a small pond, that somehow never freezes.  In that pond ( private so I know they are still there ), are two grass carp that are easily four feet long.  I see them every-time I bass fish this pond.  I have tried everything I could think of to catch them, with no luck.  keep in mind these are GRASS carp, not regular carp.  I have tried bead head nymphs, regular nymphs, midges, minnows, dry fly's, creature baits, and just about every other thing I own.  Of coarse I realize that they are grass eating carp, so I was just trying these baits to try them.  I tied a fly with 3 pieces of grass on it haha. I tied a fly with a little piece of moss I found, and nothing.  so I switched to corn, and bread. nothing.  I have been trying to catch these two fish for well over a year and absolutely cannot. 

If anyone has ANY knowledge of catching "grass" carp. please. please help me out I need to land one of these monsters. 

Thanks alot

Tyler Lucas
