Gearing Up for Carp on the Fly

[@burls76]

Rick's breakdowns are awesome...easy to listen to and watch, the guy knows his sh..stuff. 👍

I always felt using an equal weight ratio rod to bring those larger scrape fish is best overall, great topic.

Best and most comprehensive video and I've been carp since 2004!

Great recommendation! Thanks!

Hmm I use the bread flies floating deer hair a lot. They eat a lot here in the ponds from the top water. Often worked better here for me than sinking flies. Have to say a lot of people feed them with bread here or fish and try to attract them with toast bread here.

Which version of the tfo reel sbould i get my rod is a 7 or 8 weight 9ft

[@stevenwoodin6141]

They're impossible to catch though

[@turkN9NE]

you absolutely do not need expensive gear to get carp on a fly. I do it all the time with cheap equipment don't let these merch pushers fool you. they're just trying to sell

[@viator21]

I absolutely agree, buy a $200 7/8 weight and just fish. Carp, Gar, Big Bass, just go fishing! I’ve never encountered a sport that has so few working parts on equipment charge as much as fly fishing.

[@turkN9NE]

@viator21 what about center pin rigs? they may be contenders as well 😆

[@viator21]

@@turkN9NE I didn’t even know this was a thing! Makes me laugh watching it. The should just buy a spinning reel and fish conventional.

[@viator21]

I have no idea why people have to overcomplicate this very very SIMPLE craft that requires a lot of SKILL by adding strike indicators (bobbers) and full sinking line. Maybe I’m missing something, but I doubt it. I fish about 4 times a week, (fly exclusively) and scratch my head why people dump money into overpriced gear. Elitism at it’s worst.

[@turkN9NE]

@viator21 lol I know. gotta get that absolute perfect drift via extremely expensive gear, or you're just never gonna catch a fish. might as well just stay home 🤣 🤣
