Fly Fishing for CARP?! (Bread Flies = CRAZY Surface Fishing)

Fly Fishing for carp using bread flies proved to be an extremely effective, productive and entertaining way to catch carp. Carp fishing the typical way has never really appealed to me that much and as a result i've only tried it a handful of times and never really had any success. This is a really different kind of fishing for this channel as i mainly lure fish, but it made me wonder. Is this the best way to catch carp? From a lure anglers perspective anyway. And just to clarify, by best I don't mean the most effective, I mean the funnest and most exciting! If you're not sure how to catch carp and you have a fly rod, it would be well worth your time giving this a go, we even had a double up at the end.
I'd love to hear what you think about this in the comments below, so get typing and i'll get back to you as soon as possible! If you enjoyed this video I'd also really appreciate you dropping a like. If you want to see more from me, then feel free to subscribe too but bear in mind this isn't a proper carp fishing channel, i like to fish for all sorts of different things in all sorts of different ways!
I was fishing using Rigged and ready travel rods. You can get 10% off anything on their website using code AFUK10 : riggedandready.net
You can find my mate Joe who I was fishing with on instagram at "joec.fish"
As always, thanks a lot for watching and hopefully i'll see you for the next video.

There’s no stopping you with that fly rod now George !!!! I’ve course literally Thousands of carp But never ever caught one on a fly !! Saying that I’ve never caught any fish on the fly 🤣🤣🤣 just amazing buddy and well done you !!! Hope all is well with you and the family 👍🏽😀

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks John! Yeah I love fishing in unusual and challenging ways. You should definitely have a go with a fly rod, it's so much fun. Hope you're well!

[@johnloxley8705]

@@adventurefishinguk all good at this end thnx for asking …. Fly fishing ???? one day maybe buddy … you need er know 👍🏽🤔😁

[@lazycarper7925]

i know this place the otters must love the carp here, its right next to the river and no otter fence

[@adventurefishinguk]

Maybe they do, can't quite remember if i saw a fence or not!

[@paulsanderson4077]

Very different approach, looks good sport, enjoyed that George. There is some good fishing here in Lancashire on the quiet.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks Paul, I really enjoyed it too. Very different and very fun! And yeah the North west has some great fishing in general, can be tricky at times to find it though!

[@TheEssexAnglerYT]

Great video guys!!

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate!

[@andrewthrossell4053]

Never fished for carp like that myself.looks wild.will have to try it

[@adventurefishinguk]

It’s great fun mate you definitely need to give it a go!

[@BC1878]

Carp on the fly is great fun. Well done

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate! Definitely a different fight to a trout, they like to use their weight to their advantage. Great fun

[@craiglyth2673]

Great video! Going to have to treat myself to that rigged and ready rod and catch on the fly 🎣

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks Craig! You should, it’ll definitely be worth the wait 👍 I can’t wait to get my hands on the finished version

[@Ukpredatorfishing]

Can’t believe your on 5k now i remember watching you with 100 subs, can’t say you don’t deserve it though. Cracking video again mate

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate, means a lot that you’ve been watching since back then. Trust me 5k’s just the beginning! 👍🎣

[@Ukpredatorfishing]

@@adventurefishinguk I bet! We need to get you in morecambe. stone jetty, tide under 8.5 meters 2 hours up 2 down, fresh peeler crab on a pulley pennel rig Wack it out to the right and you’ve got chance of a smooth hound up to 20 odd pound 👌🏻

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!

[@johnmaskell5124]

Awesome! Since I have got into fly fishing I have become obsessed with trying to catch anything possible on the fly. Going to try for carp soon on my local pit (I might get some strange looks!) and then try for some pike up in the lakes. Also keen to try for sea bass. Next challenge a barble on a dog biscuit fly!

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks John! That all sounds like great fun. I think pike are next on my to do list closely followed by bass (may need to start catching them on lures first though!) I'd never think thaty barbel on the fly is even an option 😂 has it been done before?

[@dionlloyd2865]

Sea bass are brilliant fun on the fly and I’ve heard of barbel being caught on weighted imitation bread , amie fly fishing is the one for it

[@alison8526]

The outtakes 😂

[@adventurefishinguk]

[@jordantheallroundangler85]

What a way to catch your 1st ever carp! I have carp fished all my life.but never had one on the fly. I do intend to snag one on the fly this Yr though.

[@adventurefishinguk]

You should mate it’s great fun!

[@sashagutin9218]

I just caught my first carp ever a few days ago on the fly, it’s so much fun with a bread fly!

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate!No harm in asking 👍🎣

[@solraymond]

Nice video bro. I was wondering if you had a recipe for that fly. It looks like a white gurgler to me.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate! Not sure what kind of fly it is to be honest my friend lent me it

[@theflynoob]

Amazing mate, glad I've found your channel. I've recently started a channel fly fishing for carp but I have no content creation experience. Your video looks great is there any advice you could give me please? Big love from Birmingham. Tight lines mate

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for watching mate! My advice would be just get out there and do it. Enjoy the process!

[@theflynoob]

@AdventureFishingUK I DO! All the time, like 4 or 5 times a week lol. Its the most amazing buzz on this tackle. I've fished for over 40 years but this is on another level for excitement and adrenaline. I've dropped a sub and will get through your other vids ASAP 👍

[@adventurefishinguk]

@@theflynoob Thanks mate i appreciate that, I hope you enjoy some of the other videos!

[@soultrader57fishingandmusi25]

Fantastic! Was that up here or in Essex? On my "to do" list, next how about getting one on an insect imitation?! Tight lines 👍

[@adventurefishinguk]

Up round our neck of the woods mate! I might try next on a squirmy worm, not sure if I’ll have any success though

[@soultrader57fishingandmusi25]

@@adventurefishinguk just noticed you've already sent your link through coarse fly group! I'll have to try harder to keep up 🤣🤣

[@thaddeus7300]

People always ask why not use the bread then? they don't know the sensation of catching fish on a lure/fly, and even more when you make/tie it yourself awesome fish bro 👍

[@adventurefishinguk]

Very true! I imagine life would’ve been a lot easier using bread but being artificial makes it so much more satisfying. An extra element of skill involved isn’t there!

[@peteredwards1528]

I would love to target anything that might take a bread flake fly in my local canal on UL spinning gear. Although I'm not sure how I would get the weight to cast them without presenting them too deep subsurface. I'm guessing the bread flake flies are fished on the surface like a dry fly

[@adventurefishinguk]

They are fished like a dry fly yes. Maybe a bubble float?

[@prbrcb]

I want to get into this myself it just seems rather hard to find places that allow fly fishing for them around Suffolk/Norfolk

[@adventurefishinguk]

Yeah it can be mate! Lots of phone calls required

[@peterb443]

Hi just seen your video, I live in Leeds and most coarse fisheries around here don’t like people using a fly rod to catch carp. Can you please tell me whereabouts the fishery is did you get special permission or is normally permitted to fish with a fly rod ? Enjoyed the video and your enthusiasm 👍

[@adventurefishinguk]

Hi mate, this is a friends spot he took me here so im not exactly sure on the rules. I know a lot of places won’t mention it on their websites but if you ring and talk to them on the phone when it’s quiet they might let you

[@peterb443]

@@adventurefishinguk thanks for your reply but you didn’t mention where the fishery is. Is it a secret 🤫

[@krycek1976]

Looks like foxhouses in Scorton, Lancashire?

[@garsimmulholland4984]

One evening I hit one every cast on a bread fly....arm was killing me!!

[@adventurefishinguk]

Yeah they put up a great fight on a fly rod don’t they!

[@garsimmulholland4984]

Yes brilliant and if they’re feeding it’s easy sport. I’d recommend heavier hooks as they straighten easily.

[@steveburt1824]

Where did you buy the bread flies? The carp turn away at the ones I've bought

[@adventurefishinguk]

Not sure sorry mate, borrowed this of the guy I was with! They were turning away from these too, I think the key is to get them feeding as aggressively as possible and competing with each other over it

[@vestfiske]

I just use streamer with floating material

[@adventurefishinguk]

Good shout!

[@grahamboulton5731]

You should try pike on the flies so much fun.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Definitely on my to do list!

[@trcarver99]

What brand line you using and can't you recommend anywhere to get fly fishing stuff from ?

[@adventurefishinguk]

Not sure sorry mate you'd be better off asking someone else when it comes to fly fishing!

[@trcarver99]

Cheers, thinking of popping into Gerry's in Morecambe on my way to the lake District on Monday, what they like for lures and sea fishing stuff?

[@adventurefishinguk]

@@trcarver99 they’re excellent for lures and sea fishing stuff mate you won’t find better. Fly fishing on the other hand I don’t think they’ve got any of that in. There’s an actual fly fishing shop in morecambe too, I’ve never been but I think it’s called troutflies
