Thanks guys!
Tonyp - Yeah we have long suspected Fork might hold carp as nice as the bass it holds. It's one of those lakes where a healthy population of carp, and bass, and catfish, and well, everything, helps all the species balance out and get big!
Artan - Are you sure you're not seeing buffalo? I know that section of the Elm Fork pretty well, and haven't seen any carp there over maybe 15lbs. I've seen some 30+ buffs there though. Sometimes it can be hard to tell in the water.

Yeah lol, I think I Know the place. Are you fishing the river itself, or the wider, flooded area directly behind those buildings with the flat spillway?
I've caught carp there but like I said never seen anything over 15lbs, yet. Though I've only fished it a cople times.
Post some pictures of your big ones!
Hybrids huh? They are definitely in that river, probably a lot more right now then there have been for a while. Hadn't seen any come out of there, just white bass, but I'm sure there are a few in that area.
I've caught 1 buff back there, only 11lbs, so there are definitely more carp then buffs in there.

Man, I don't ever fish for Carp or Buff and you guys are making this sound mighty interesting. I don't exactly go ultralight with the spinning gear though and I'd just flat out be scared hooking into anything 15+ lbs on a fly rod.

Ketchum, carp are damn tasty smoked and made great fried fish sandwhichs, just ask Kevin Sutton!
But I don't keep fish that big or that old. I keep the small ones, and let the big ones go to make more big ones!
Kube - Well, if you want a fish that's gonna beat the heck out of your fly gear, I'd definitely suggest fishing for carp!
Carp are one of the hardest fighting, most drag-stripping fish in freshwater!
A 15-20lb carp will own your fly gear, and you will love every moment of it!
