Carp on the fly

Has anybody tried catching the carp in Misery Bay with a fly rod, if so can you enlighten me on how it's done.

Would you have the recipe for that fly ?

D-Mac,
 
Not entirely but I can describe it pretty well.  Start with a 3Xl #6 streamer hook.  Tie in a short tail (1/2 shank length) of maribou (black in my case).  tie in a thin monofilament rib and let it hang.  Tie in a shell back of either black turkey feathers or similar.  Tie in and wrap body with EZ dub or similar up to thorax.  Pull over shell back, tie off but don't cut, rib with mono, tie off.  For the thorax and legs I used either mohair chenille or similar for the body and some long hen hackle (or really dark pheasant rump if you have it) for the legs.  Tie in a set of legs so that you have them on both sides of the body, make a few turns of mohair.  Do that for three sets of legs and bring more back material forward and tie off.  Tie in a set of burnt monofilament eyes painted black (the bigger the eyes the better), dub around them lightly with some matching black dubbing, and do one more shell back over the top of the eyes.  Whip finish.
 
You can add weight depending on the water you're fishing.  If you're in a foot or less you don't need it at all.  Once the mohair gets wet it will sink, especially if the hook is 2x or 3x heavy.  If you are going deeper than a foot or in moving water adjust accordingly.  I meant to tie some clouser style to keep the hook up, but never got around to it.
 
For the damsel, pick a thin bodied damsel nymph from your favorit pattern book and go to it.  I like them with a braided maribou tail personally.  Keep them thin and they all work well.  Same rules for the eyes- bigger and blacker the better.

dmac,
 
in that case (8' deep) you'll probably want a sinking tip line.
 
I fished them in 6's and 4's, about the same size as a medium tadpole and of similar profile in the water.  for a #6 fly at 2" long it would be 1/2" wide in the thorax, though the abdomen and tail were a little thinner.
 
thanks

I've caught carp accidently on a flyrod while fishin for smallmouth...mostly on black or brown wooly buggers and marabou leeches (black). Talked to a guy who fishes for em by chumming with corn then throwin a corn fly he ties.
