Fly Fishing for carp

[nickrp]

I going to have a go at some carp on the fly rod this summer, but as I don't tie my own flies does anyone know where I can order chum mixer flies either online or mail order. They're usually tied with spun deer hair and tied to imitate floating dog buscuits, but I can't seem to find them anywhere on the net. Any help gratefully received.

Just superglue a real chum mixer to the back of a small hook and you off (not for the purist)

Im not sure about sticking bits of food to hooks but ive help net a 20+lb carp from an old coarse fishery which is now stocked with trout. It took a Olive Bloodworm, after 20 minutes it came to the net not sure if this is unusual as not as ive not fished water with these fish before, it may be quite common.

Up here in the North East of Scotland we don't have too many carp fisheries to choose from but it is one of my target species this year.

I can't see why something like this wouldn't work

Try an egg fly.Look like pellets,various colours.They do sink,but quite slowly,but could be made to float with a little help
