grass carp will eat floating pellets with gusto; at least that is my experience; so I made up a fly that looked like a pellet; darn if it took like about 30 minutes to bring in the 8 pounder or so; Anthropic is correct...a wild boat ride too; do agree less is better with grass carp; you can easily add, not easy to take them out unless you can get them to eat pellets...then it will be fun tug-a-war...all the very best fishing
