I used the orange fly that I tied up a few days ago and caught a bass and a carp today. The carp was right on top of where I thought my fly was but in the muddy water you cant tell for sure and you can't see them bite so you keep an eye on the end of the fly line. If it moves a little or stops or you just have a strong hunch, set and hope he is there. If he is not there he will spook but was probably not going to bite anyway. The bass cruised over to check out the fly as I dragged it across the mud. He was right on top of the fly but sometimes they nose up to it for a close look and don't grab. I guessed he might have it and was right. I am starting to think carp fishing is legit. Sight fishing for good sized, cagey fish. What is not to like. Fun stuff.
