The Orvis Guide to Fly Fishing for Carp: Tips and Tricks for the Determined Angler

The Orvis Guide to Fly Fishing for Carp: Tips and Tricks for the Determined Angler

"Carp are tantalizingly close, no matter where you are. They will challenge you technically, test your patience, and make you question your fly fishing bona fides more than any other freshwater fish. And they get really big; they’ll put you into your backing fast. As Trout Unlimited’s Chris Hunt says in his foreword, “Enjoy the journey that comes with fly fishing for carp. And leave your 4-weight home.”  Sporting nicknames like the golden bonefish, carp are finally getting the attention they deserve from US flyrodders. TROUT Magazine managing editor Kirk Deeter meets these non-native fish head-on, examining their history, behavior, diet, and the challenges they pose for even the most accomplished fly fisherman. Covering everything from the approach, the presentation, how to effectively read both fish and water—even recipes for the best patterns to throw—Deeter introduces the most prolific freshwater gamefish to an audience finally ready to stalk them."

The Orvis Beginner's Guide to Carp Flies: 101 Patterns & How and When to Use Them (Orvis Guides)

The Orvis Beginner's Guide to Carp Flies: 101 Patterns & How and When to Use Them (Orvis Guides)

Learn tips and tricks for all new flies sure to catch carp!Carp are one of the most widely distributed and abundant fish in North America. Their prodigious size and habit of finning in shallow water make them appear to be easy fly-fishing targets. In reality, most anglers quickly discover that they are extremely difficult to hook on a fly. It takes years to discover how to catch them consistently. The reason? Carp can be very selective about what flies they will take.This book will help to short-circuit that learning curve. Carp's selectivity can be boiled down to diet. Understanding what they are eating allows the angler to choose and tie a fly that will produce. The Orvis Beginner’s Guide to Carp Flies walks the flyfisherman through the steps of identifying the most likely food source, illustrating the best patterns that imitate that food, and discussing how to effectively present those flies. With detailed information on tying all of the important carp flies, this book eliminates months of trial and error in your fly selection.Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for fishermen.
