Seeing as the 2008 Carp-O-Rama has been announced recently, I was wondering what does one use to catch a carp? Some successful patterns would be appreciated. Thank guys. Andy...

Sorry about the last post, forgot to host pictures of flies. This is probably the best selection of carp flies I've seen in a while. I will be bringing them to the Carp-O-Rama! Victory will be mine! They're barbless so save any inhuman banter.

I agree with Jules, although my favorite pattern is the one a the tail of an arrow.
