Fly Fishing For Carp

Featured Replies

Anybody here like to fly fish for carp? 

It can be a lot of fun sometimes. A 10-20 lb carp will wear you out on a fly rod. It's about as easy as it gets to sight-fish for carp with a worm fly. I just use bead-head worm flies that are basically a gold bead and a brown pipe cleaner rigged with a twist similar to a Flick Shake worm.

Give it a try if you haven't already.

Agree 110%, on one of my local "big bass" lakes I always get crazy looks when I'm pulling up 10lb carp on a fly rod.    ;D

My favorite kind of freshwater fishing is light tackle carp, either fly or spinning gear. Around me (Lancaster, PA) there are so many what I would consider "world class" carp fisheries. The Conestoga, Susquehanna, Mill Creek, the Pequea, and tons of little streams. I love to use little "Trout Slayer" plastic crayfish by Leland's Lures on 6lb line and an Ultralight spinning rod. Or anything buggy as a fly.
