Hi there,
I hoped you could clear up some confusion for me please - I want to target carp in the 10lb -20lb range on a fly rod, I have read in a number of of places that people use 5-7 weight fly rods to target large carp, no problem - I have also read other advice that says you should NEVER use anything less than an #8 for carp? I currently own a 7 weight which I want to go fly fishing for carp with, but am concerned it will be too light and will risk wearing out the fish or won't be powerful enough to control big carp.
any advice on this please...
Many thanks
Mark
