From my side, it was my first time visiting Paarl to fish for those carp, so I haven't yet worked out all the intricacies to catching them that other guys have (for example Korrie, Sean Mills or the guys from The Mission Fly Mag). But I'm going to take another trip soon, to try again. Will PM you Jason. As for rod weight, I was using a 5 wt Sage Pulse, which I'm pretty sure is undergunned for the big ones, particularly since they fight dirty and have packed on the muscle from living in a current. Unfortunately my 7 wt is back in Mpumalanga: that or an 8 wt would be the right weight I suspect.
