@wagglermaster301 The 5/6 weight is ok for smaller fish up to 8-10lb but then it will not have the power to easily stop larger fish running for snags etc. I would use a tippet strength of 6 or 8lb with that size rod.
@loveflyfishing18 Yes that rod will work fine for you to start with. It will have enough strength to land some good sized fish and allow you to easily handle the smaller ones too.
@loveflyfishing18 Yes saltwater fly fishing is probably my favourite type of fly fishing. I have done most of this when I lived in the USA and now travel onece or twice a year overseas when I can. In the UK I have not had much chance as yet but have tried for bass once or twice which was fun and next year I will do more locally.
@loveflyfishing18 Something like a size 6 or 8 with a wide gape. The wide gape is important as otherwise if the distance between the deer hair on the fly and the point of the hook is too narrow, it will not catch in the mouth of the carp very well.
You can try smaller hooks but with carp they are not shy of a big bait once they are hungry!
@loveflyfishing18 I would for for a 7 weight 9 foot rod as a good all-rounder. Any regular trout type fly rod in that weight will be fine (Greys, Snowbee, etc...).
By sidestrain I mean lowering the rod to one side and pulling sideways on the fish rather than pulling straight up on the fish when hooked. as the fish turns and runs the other way you need to switch the rod over to the other side of you and pull them that way. A very efficient way of fighting strong fish in particular.
@loveflyfishing18 I would normally use a 7 or 8 weight rod for carp if they are likely to be anywhere near double figures - you can get away with a 6 weight for smaller carp up to the 5lb range or a little more. Hard to snap modern fly rods these days but use sidestrain like in the video rather than holding the rod straight up and that will help avoid that also. Have fun!
that, IMO is irresponsible- especially if release fishing- bring the fish in as quickly as possible to minimise stress and maximise the possiblity of the fish making a good recovery and bring the appropriate tools, no use bringing a knife to a gun fight- minimum you should use is a 6wt- much better off with a 7wt
@danebrewer10 Its a carp, they live no matter what you do to em. They r a nuisance fish and are thrown on the bank in most states for raccoon and bear food.
@bowhunterdave well I guess the only saving grace, is that they are able to survive in very low levels of dissolved oxygen still, each fish should be treated the same, even if it is a "vermin" species.
Cant treat em all equally if you want some species to even survive. Funny you are so worried about saving a fish`s life when your avatar is a gun used for hunting and killing..... I too am into catch and release but I dont preach it.....
@bowhunterdave true, but when I shoot an animal, be it on the wing with a shotgun or still with the rifle, I endeavor to minimise the suffering I may cause to the animal in the process of shooting it, so not using a wobbly rest, taking time in the shot etc, to make sure that when I shoot, it is lights out more or less instantly,
@bowhunterdave it's also about using the best tool for the job like using larger caliber rifle for larger game, a small calibre will do the job, but a larger one will do the job better, the same goes for fishing IMO, using the correct tackle..., though I do concede, carp are, I think quite a bit more robust than fish like pike or trout say....and so can withstand a bit more time out of water, seeing as they survive in ponds low in dissolved o2 that would kill other fish species
@danebrewer10 so are catfish, i've noticed pike live amybe 3-4 minutes out of water then their dead but i've brought home catfish from a 30 minute drive and they're still alive
@randomclam8ownz Yeah, I've noticed that even for their ferocious looks, pike are actually pretty delicate, I bet the catfish are even more resilient..... a bit like the Snakehead I believe you chaps are having trouble with in the states
@danebrewer10 yes, pike are actually pretty delicate and catfish are alot tougher than they seem, really we only have issues with snakeheads down in the southern states, my homestate North Dakota is currently unaffected
@randomclam8ownz what about those Asian carp? I saw a programme on them a while ago on National Geographic I think it was, crazy things they are, looks like a bad deal for lake Michigan and the great lakes system.....
There is a pond close to my house with many huge carp one of them had got flushed into a small creek after a flood and weighed in at 25 lbs. I have seen the tops of the carp when they where feeding off the top but didnt have my fly rod then and now it is Winter and I do not know what flies to get. The pond has thin patches of weeds scattered throughout and the carp might be up to 40 lbs. Any tips on gear or flies would be greatly appreciated.
i dont have any tips because i am struggling to consistently get a carp on the fly as well. but man once you get one of those big carp on you are gonna have a great fight!
See if your local library has a copy of "Carp on the Fly: A Flyfishing Guide" by Barry Reynolds, if they don't have it you might be able to get a used copy from Amazon.
u can not blind cast or cast right to them cause the spoook easy and may never be seen again. try fly fishing a chernoyble ant. that is wat i used to bring in my 5Lb carp
@MembrainJ i got mine at cabelas but im sure you can get it at most outdoor outfitters, just look in the literature section. i got mine on sale cuz no one was buying it. i tried it and like the carp i have brought in, i am HOOKED!!! :)
