Hi there Pikefly and welcome to the BigFishTackle. Nice to have someone from the other side on the pond join our group. What you say makes sense. The comments in my response was taken from the Jackson Hole Tribune in Wyoming. I haven't fished for carp since I was teenager and certainly wouldn't know what kind of fly to use unless it looks like a piece of liver, bread or just about anything else one can find in their kitchen. I understand that minnows work fairly well in rivers.
