How To Fly Fish For Carp S5 E11

[@mikaelpertmann]

I really like this video. So much well presented information in just 10 minutes.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it...

[@sdriza]

Absolutely.... one of the best videos like this I've seen...

[@lilgoutdoors8608]

What kind of net are you using in this video

[@clueless4085]

Stellar! I caught my first carp on the fly 3 years ago and have been hooked (pun intended) ever since. Trout and Bass have taken a backseat since. The host here knows his stuff.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

They are a great species - so under estimated by most fly fishers!!! Glad you enjoyed the episode, and thanks a lot for your comment.

[@01ps]

Excellent video, this guy is an excellent instructor and presenter, not a loud mouth like so many YT vidiots. Stayed on topic, presented the information we need, and even gave us a good idea of the problems we may encounter and how to overcome. Well done Chris.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Glad you found it enjoyable!

[@deanhamilton1908]

Wow!! Rio has a way of putting together videos that always hit the nail on the head of the subject they are covering. Thanks for one of the most professional fly fishing videos I've watched. lots of info that made perfect sense and the fishing sequence was fun and informative for all levels of fly fishermen.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Thank you!

By far the best video on the topic I’ve seen yet. Most well presented, to the point, detailed and entertaining!

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Appreciate it! Glad you found it useful.

[@wetnetoutfitters941]

Chris Walker is the man! Great video.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

No doubt!

[@kevenkleweno2832]

It was one of the best videos that I have watched about fly fishing for carp. The information on the flies & rod selection was great. Thanks

[@stephenbrody2717]

Just watched this again. Thanks RIO very cool

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Thanks!

[@Gator_Bait_Motorsports]

I never tried to catch carp on a fly rod before, looks like a new challenge for this summer, Thanks!

[@Mtndoc75]

That was a really excellent presentation. You are a natural narrator. Nice work

[@overlanderdiaries5006]

We’ve had such a hot summer that fishing trout is just irresponsible. Carp and bass is the best alternative and just as much challenge and fun. Great video.

[@SurfSkagit]

Very complete video for a very “unusual” sport fish, thank you Rio!

[@lastcoyote2355]

A white puff fly is a killer for carp as it imitates a cotton wood seed pod . It’s a go to fly on the lower green and also works great on the Gunnison in or around the town of Delta Colorado

[@wanayam5146]

Can you show the patern?

Excellent vid, just starting to target, thanks.

[@austintrenkamp8205]

Couldn't agree with Fario anymore. I was just out at a job site today and have been seeing a bunch of large carp lately, I guess getting ready to spawn, I knew folks fly fished for carp and it sounds like so fun to catch a fish that size, and they really are super pretty fish. So I snuck my rod to work, got the work done, then hung around to try and catch one, and holly cow! So hard to catch them 😵 hahaha. I really appreciate this video, so well presented, fella presenting and camera operator did such a good job, and now I'm super pumped to get back out there 👍 professionally done RIO, love your products and muchos muchos gracias!

[@dekerdoo64]

Dude you did an excellent job!

[@burnettnr]

So nice to see a video that goes through the whole thought process and trial and error. Very informative.

[@carsondyle1793]

Hooked my first for a few seconds, can’t wait to land one

[@xaviernadeau1588]

great video! I recently found out that there are carp in my area and I'm excited to fish for them, but I have absolutely no experience in the field of carp fishing. this video was very informative and answered all the questions I had about targeting carp on the fly.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Good luck in your endeavor!

[@pike657]

Great Video . In my ponds here I fish many times with the fly for carp. Montanas Working great ! Greetings from Germany

[@fatihgure639]

I am writing from Turkey. Can you help me with Carp fly? What would you recommend as a fly?

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Always depends on the fishery but to give you some pattern ideas we have a number of patterns you can kind of map off: RIO'S RESTING CARP FACE farbank.com/products/rio-rios-resting-carp-face-fly CARP CRACK farbank.com/products/rio-carp-crack RIO'S BEARD LOUSE farbank.com/products/rio-rios-beard-louse-fly RIO'S CARP CUPCAKE farbank.com/products/rio-rios-carp-cupcake-flies RIO'S CARP'N CRUNCH farbank.com/products/rio-rios-carp-n-crunch RIO'S CARPDASHIAN farbank.com/products/rio-rios-carpdashian-fly

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

you did a good job I have had them break 10 and 12 lb mono/flouro before. Most mine have been on a fast moving river so the fish pluss the current ad a lot of pressure. and you have to fight to keep them out of snags.

[@whitefishfins]

Great vid - very informative! Thanks.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

You're welcome!!!

[@jkylel7401]

This was great. I live about a mile from a local lake that for some reason they have completely failed at managing it as a fishery with the bass. I was out in my boat and finally found carp suspended about submerged trees...time to get set up and start carp hunting.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Good luck!

[@slhibbs]

one of the best Rio videos ive seen what net was you using

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. It was a Fishpond net

[@c11235]

This is a stellar video. Thank you for this excellent, well presented information. It looks like Chris uses a humble composite/plastic Redington Crosswater reel. It’s got a drag system. Who needs expensive gear. Pretty cool.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it...

[@cherrywilson1556]

[@marcg.9899]

Love the video! What sling pack are you using in this video? And is it holding the net too or is it just hanging between the pack and your back? Thank again!

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Pack is the Fishpond Thunderhead Sling. Has a slot in the back purposely built to hold the net in that position. Great bag for sure!

[@destinationfishing1308]

Nice Video - just started targeting carp and your spot one - they are pretty tricky to catch, spooky, and fight hard...harder than a trout...

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

They are tons of fun!

[@charlieboutin3341]

Spot on! Excellent tips Chris! I accidentally caught a few big carp on 4wt when White bass fishing a couple years ago. What a fun fight!Now they’re one of my #1 target fish right along with lunker Largemouth. Really enjoy your videos and products Rio. Keep up the great work. Thanks a lot!👍👌🎣

[@SurfSkagit]

Love it, so much potential for a very challenging and picky sport fish. Great presentation, absolutely a template piece of work for any professional or you-tuber to look at it carefully. So much valuable info to be watched only once. Thank you Rio and Chris please keep it up ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it...

[@mikemiller724]

Enjoyed the video and tips. Been wanting to try carp to since I don’t get to chase redfish as often as I’d like. And, What size hooks for the flies?

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it... The fly sizes ranged from 6's to 10's

[@HarmonDMark]

very good video 😊

[@proskipper1]

Sweet! love the fact you are using a natural style pattern not bread or dog biscuit!

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it... No dog biscuit or bread flies here!!

[@joecrouch2102]

I never knew until I hooked my first grass carp.. they are one of the best fighting fish in fresh water!

[@crp6523]

Chris excellent presentation very clear and to the point. Quick question: what type net is that? Thanks for your help.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

It's a fishpond nomad series!

[@brinkbruwer4958]

Near the end of the vid you tied 2 flies . What knots dit you use,how did you tie them

[@henningradasewski6172]

Good stuff. Carp was the first larger species my brother and I would catch in the neighbours pond when we where Kids. Back then it was with conventional rods. Now that i'm a fly fisher, i'm really keen on catching them on a fly.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

It's super fun and technical! Great challenge. Good luck.

[@gregkosinski2303]

Great video! Wow I was surprised when he released it. In my area, you’re required to kill them.

What are your opinions on fiberglass rods for carp?

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Really fun fight on a glass rod! Definitely prefer modern glass for it's accuracy.

[@tbagingsince1986]

What size hooks on the damselfly and woolly bugger?

[@johnyorchak5162]

Nice video. I've never fished for carp before but when I do I think I'll have a fighting chance!

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Good luck with it when you do...

[@fishmut]

I have a 4 weight fly rod , would it be a wast of time to try for carp on that or should I buy a heavier 8 eight weight as most seem to use those.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

A 4 weight is definitely too light, these fish are strong! An 8 weight is a solid option.

[@axelg4263]

What is the brand of flies used? What about the models? Thank you!

[@dlou1337]

Great Rep!

[@robdogj]

Question for Chris Walker, can you forward over that damsel fly nymph recipe?

[@mikewelch4673]

Great video, thanks for the info. I live near a large area that gets flooded every year in the spring and I see lots of large carp that seem to be feeding right against the grassy banks when the water is coming up. They are nosed into the bank and seem to be aggressively feeding. I know it might be impossible to answer this question but what would your hunch be on what they would be eating and what flies to use? I know this year when it starts to happen I can wade in and look but I am keen to try to get a carp and want to make sure I have some flies ready to go. Cheers.

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Great question! Our hunch during a flood season would probably be worms that are flooded out of their normally dry homes. Also, generally they are a good choice for carp. They could also be feeding on other aquatic species disturbed by the change in water like nymphs or crayfish. Try one of RIO's Red Hot Worms, or Cray Crays. Hope this helps!

[@mikewelch4673]

@@RIOPRODUCTS Awesome, thanks for getting back to me

[@durveshchury9076]

@@mikewelch4673 , The weeds would be dry? and dying? the carp are staging and feeding by rooting the dead weed and insects/worms . For me a beadhead crystal wollybugger in size 10 had been effective along with small brown beadhead wollybugger with rubber legs . The technique is to get the fly in the zone slowly and let it be on the bottom and gently raise it as the carp suck /stir up the bottom as if the fly rose up from the path rooted/stirred by. the carp, the carp will immediately take the fly . The should only be raise till the carp's eye level just an inch or two . I anticipate the rooting path and pre-plant the fly

[@gemstatefisherman3409]

Couldn’t have picked an easier place to show how to do it! I live right next to this particular reservoir, they are extremely aggressive in there I use craw and damsel patterns they also eat lots of minnow patterns in there. My profile picture came from there also. Lol

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

Great to hear!

[@wilco4094]

When you set the hook you just pull the line?

[@RIOPRODUCTS]

In this case, yes! It's called a strip-set. Once you feel a strong connection after pulling the line, then you can lift your rod to apply pressure.

[@seankap6831]

Dude, it looks like you're in Utah! Are you? I live in Davis county.

[@durveshchury9076]

Would a Thomas and Thomas 6wt euronymph rod with a mono rig be better for this as it would create a gentler landing?

Only difficulty there would be if you have to make a longer cast, but try it and let us know how it works!
