I've noticed in my limited experience that the color of your close blending with the background made a difference in my situation. Very fun and frustrating fish to chase but rewarding when it all comes tight..

Enjoyed your carp tips, especially #1: "carp are very difficult to catch." Tell me about it!! Also, do the grass carp tend to eat off the top less in the winter?

[@AZFlyShop]

The grass carp do tend to eat less on the surface during the winter.

Think these tips will work more north in Reno or Vegas?

[@AZFlyShop]

Maybe…let me know

What canals do you recommend for me? I’m in East Mesa

[@AZFlyShop]

Not sure right now, I haven’t been out to East Mesa I’m a while. My suggestion is that you walk canals and look for them. During this last summer, there were a bunch of carp between Center and Mesa Drive.

[@michaelryan6467]

cast to them upstream or cast to them downstream?

[@AZFlyShop]

Generally upstream
