Hello mate,
I'm from a fly fishing background and new to coarse fishing.
I've fly fished for carp a few times. First thing is to check you are allowed to do it on the fishery you intend to fish. Most coarse fisheries in my experience don't allow it anyway so make sure you check.
Use strong leader, at least 8lb. When they first take they will run hard, you need strong leader.
You can use deer hair type flies in shades of brown and feed dog biscuits first or white foam or bread flake type flies and feed pieces of bread first.
It is fantastic sport, they fight better than trout pound for pound in my opinion.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
Regards,
Nick.
