SO : let me know what you think of that .....
The carp feel the soft material of the fly, smells and tast the sirop
and seems to forget the rest.

Well I reckon its a very novel approach to carp fishing. I wouldn't
feel
right about using that method for trout though.


Thanks flycatcher;
I don't feel that the fish makes the difference.
It's about the tactic.

How many insects do you suspect taste of syrup?

I try to attract fish with as realistic an insect imitation as I can create
or buy. If you want to attract the fish with a taste or smell component,
puree some mayflies 9or what ever bug suits you) and smear the resultant
ooze on your fly,.

You're absolutely right of course! I hope to do some fly fishing for pike
at some point and there are also carp in the water, so I might give it a go.

By the way, the carp and pike are at another fishing venue - Harelaw only
has trout minnows and perch.
(Just to avoid any confusion :-) )
