Targeting this species wasn’t always this popular. When I started intentionally fly fishing for Carp over 20 years ago, there were only a handful of anglers I knew doing it. One of them was Jim Andrix, the person I give most credit, or maybe blame, for feeding this addiction.  He was instrumental in my early development, teaching me how to target a fish that seemed almost impossible to catch. Although Jim is no longer with us, it’s impossible to see a tailing carp and not think of all the advice he so freely shared when I was starting out. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFast forward nearly 25 years and it’s easy to see why these amazing game fish have become so popular. They test you in ways one can only be tested in saltwater, but are far more accessible regardless of where you live! My favorite way to target Carp is by sight fishing, a game where your stealth, keen eyesight and patience are paramount to success. Imagine easing down a slow-moving river looking for signs of feeding Carp. Once spotted, you might only get one shot before the gig is up and they are onto you. If you do everything right and one of these golden torpedoes eat your fly, you still have to fight a 10 to 20 pound fish and do your best to keep it out of cover, often with very light 2X or 3X tippet. These fish run hard, fight harder, and will test anglers of every skill level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGear is provided on all guide trips. If you want to bring your own gear, we can discuss and go over what you have and if it is suitable for what we will be doing. Having gear rigged up the right way is critical to giving you the best chance for success and having an enjoyable time on the water. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warm Water Anglers","offers":[{"title":"Full Payment","offer_id":44370805358634,"sku":null,"price":525.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Deposit","offer_id":44370796773418,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Balance","offer_id":44389201608746,"sku":null,"price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/3044\/5866\/files\/joohnstone.edit.fantail-1.jpg?v=1780106616","url":"https:\/\/www.warmwateranglers.com\/products\/carp-guide-trip","provider":"Warmwater Anglers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
