Through his inviting writing style, Trout Magazine's Deeter makes the case for pursuing these wary, hard-fighting fish on the fly. This contemporary, how-to-guide explains why carp are often the species of choice for fly-fishing guides.
Carp are close, no matter where you are. Tantalizingly close. They will challenge you technically and test your patience, and make you question your fly fishing bona fides more than any other freshwater fish. And they get big. 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.”
