LOL! Yeah, they are considered invasive in most places. I'm nowhere near my house in that picture. Since I don't eat the fish I catch anyway, carp are INCREDIBLY fun to catch on the fly. They're really smart and you have to sightfish them and cast your fly into its mouth just about. Super spooky too. We call em the golden ghosts.

The best part is that it feels like you hooked into a freight train. That guy took almost 15 minutes to land by myself.

Trout are so pussy in comparison.
Ok you fly fish. Bait casting, Carp are bottom feeders, you can mix up your own dough balls and put them on a barbed single or barbed treble. Carp like dough balls. no teeth on that fish. soft mouth

They’re bottom feeders when fly fishing too. Barbless hooks. Have to cast into the “pie plate” in front of their face and time the sink of your fly while they’re moving. Then Hope you can see them inhale it from 30 feet away because you will never feel a take. And if they see or hear you they hit the next zip code.

I get that using bait or worms or bread is an easier way to catch a fish. Some other guy from South Africa that’s on ignore now used to get really upset I used flies too. “Worms are so much easier! Use a worm, you’ll throw out your flies!” He repeatedly told me. No. Shit.

Maybe I’m weird, but I like things to be challenging. Any douche nozzle can put a worm on a hook. Using feathers and artificial materials to trick a fish into thinking you’re part of the ecosystem gets me off wayyyy more.

People think fly fishers are snobs, but it’s just because we have to deal with Mongoloid, yahoo cletus motherfuckers telling us “uh....der her, fish like garlic cheese powerbait, it’s cheaper and barbed hooks make it so you don’t need any skill to land your fish!”

got it. Thanks.

we should go fishing, you could teach me how to fly fish, pretty sure I already know how. They call me Brad Pitt in A River Runs through It
