Totally! Or his twin

Catching a carp on the fly is something special! If you want to experience the drag and getting into your backing you need to feel the power and strength of these fish! So much fun!

For this fishery you should use a real carp-landingnet. With the net you are using, a 20-30 pound carp will make you a real problem. I use a 50 inch carp-landingnet and I'm glad I have it. I can land a 50-60 pounder without problem. Although my fishing is 80-90% for carp, I also flyfish for trout and grayling. Surely will try carp on the fly. Great video guys. Please more of this.

Carp on the fly. Love it. Been doing it for a while!

Carp - the fish that you love or hate, depending on where you live and upbringing.

I see 50-60 pounders during the spring time spawn where I fish it’s actually insane

Ya know what’s really fun? Carp on a 5wt and centerpin reel....

Way to show what fish we will all be fishing for in 2025.

Just curious, what's your typical leader formula for this setup? I normally fish streamers on a sinking line, thinking about getting into carp fishing and never really tried streamers on a floating line. Could you catch them on a sinking line? Or maybe that causes the fly to sink too low for them?

live in Cornwall going to have to do this

ive been targeting carp on the fly these past few weeks and I've got a few of them to bite but for some reason all of the get off after a few seconds? I've tried stripping before setting the hook like you said but they still keep on getting off. do you have any other tips for setting the hook on these fish? or should i maybe use a fluorocarbon leader to prevent line stretch?

@newflyfisher

4 жыл бұрын

If you are strip setting, then it should work. We do like to use stiff mono which has little stretch for carp as well. The other option is to use flies that are tied upside down, hook up. Many small crayfish patterns i tied like this and they work very well for carp

these are wild fish that receive almost zero pressure that's why you can do this. most places in the great lakes you can do this, very few people fish for them

you could but it might not be good for the fish. it would take longer to fight the fish to hand and release it. the excessive lactic acid build up, especially in warm water, would kill the carp

Carp can be rather powerful fish a 4wt wouldn't really be very ethical even for 5 lbs carp. For carp I'd use at least a 6wt, preferably an 8wt or 9wt especially if there's a chance for bigger ones.

Stropix, if you find that your rod is locking up with the the size fish you are catching then you should step up to a 6 or 7w to avoid mouth damage. With regard to a protracted fight if given proper recovery time before release the fish should be fine.

I have tried every fly in my arsenal and nothing! I have caught just about everything on the fly... but no carp!

that is a pretty sucky net..look up net from a guy in oklahoma its called big carp tackle....better and easer to use

I love when people say beautiful fish or good fish when they catch carp. I think saying something more like chubby Fish or gross fish would be more accurate

Carp often come from gross water, but they themselves are not gross.

hello friends back here in alberta we have an invasive species of prussian carp. at the moment we catch them with rod and reel with maggots, corn and various dough baits. i have heard that they can be caught on fly rod too but haven't had much luck yet. i have only tried with really small chronos. what flies would you suggest? are they fairly similar to the common carp or grass carp?

@hwitt2237

Жыл бұрын

by now you’ve probably answered your question but prussian carp are just a breed of common carp, so most carp flies would work well

really should be using a larger net and landing for handling carp

Those of us who fish everyday tend to take care of our skin. Totally understandable how if you only get one day off a week you wouldn't care as much. Chase that paycheck sucker.

What is with the rotten landing net? You are using some of the best (most expensive) fly rods available and yet you don't have a (fairly inexpensive) fish friendly net. The open knotted pool cleaning net that is being used causes damage to scales, fins and gill covers! Fish care please Orvis.

We just remove all carp from the waters we fish, as they really mess everything up for the native fish species.

Once you hook a 30-40 pound carp you will understand a 4# is by far not enough. Here in Europe we catch carp up to 70-80 pound carp. Not on the fly but special gear (carprods with 3 to 3.5 lbs testcurve).
