Fly Fishing for coarse fish?

[willh]

Does anyone have any problems with people fly fishing for coarse fish such as carp and roach etc?

I want to practice my casting and this seems the cheapest way and could be quite fun but I don't want to put other anglers backs up in the process.

Has anyone done it or shouted abuse at those who do?

I do quite a bit of fly fishing for carp, using a fly called a super bonio. I have not had any abuse, in fact I have had the opposite.
Comments on how stylish it is, and being the gentleman that I am, having cat out, handed the rod to other anglers to have a go.
Almost every fish will take a fly pattern, obviously pike/zander/perch will go for the more brightly coloured lures, but nymph patterns can be deadly for almost any species.
Give it a go, its great fun.
If you hunt down some of my posts, you can see the reports I have made.
I plan on fly fishing for chub this weekend, using daddylonglegs patterns.

Was fishing a lake a few months back and there was a guy opposite me fly fishing for carp with great sucsess. I dont see a problem with it if your gears up to the job. Something id like to have ago at next year is flyfishing for carp.

I have cought a lot of coarse fish on fly in the river severn,, tip,, check the rules of the water you are going to fish, a lot of clubs do not allow artifical baits.
