Title: Another for the fly fishers.

With no rain, no flow, no movement in the creeks the bass are just not awake and playing yet.

So have been giving the carp a flogging.

A few pics all sight cast.

Just an Airflo 7# floater, 9ft twisted leader made from Kong 16lb fluorocarbon.

Any lighter and you just get smoked.
