Most of my carp are a happy accident. Im usually after other fish and will make a quick detour if I spot carp and have my flyrod with me. I always bring my carp flies just in case, but I seldom make a carp-specific trip. It's a little tricky to stand and cast from my kayak, and spotting feeding carp from a sitting position is tough unless they're tailing or throwing up mud plumes. I will make a trip or two this year with only a flyrod and carp flies on the yak, though. If I dump, I only have to worry about the rod since the flies fit in my pfd's pockets.
