Jean-Guy on Fly Lines
My understanding on lines is as follow:
If you only have one line, then the most versatile is the floating line, it allows you to fish the surface and up to a few feet below the surface with heavy flies or with weighted tippet.
Second line should be a sinking tip. It allows you to fish from a couple of feet down to maybe 10 to 15 feet or more down (just let the line sink before reeling it in). This will cover all the pike and carp needs.
If you get a third line then you can get more specialized, ie shooting tip, full sinking, fast sinking, etc.
Botton line, I would suggest getting a sinking tip. A sinking tip with a shooting head should help in getting a little more distance. Not necessary for carp, but could be usefull for pike, as it allows you to cover more water.
