Fly Fishing for Carp

[tubeyoukyle]

Hey Zach great job man. You def are a natural angler and keep up the fly fishing, we need more like you. Just to note. Carp are actually very intelligent and they have excellent eye sight, never under estimate any fish. But thumbs up to you buddy your doing a great job. Cheers

[verobernal09]

Z the Sporting Man you sir are a natural, Dont let clowns who post negative comments get you down. You are well on your way (if not there yet) to being an excellent Angler. I've caught Trout, Bass, Bream, Cats, Chubs, and BIG Common Carp. I Love catching Carp, they're smart, strong, & feisty! I cant believe you kissed it! ha! you're a Wild Man! Your Camera Man did an awesome job.. Tight Lines Boys!

@verobernal09 Finally! A fellow fisherman with something productive to say! Thank you!

Zach

[zachthefisherman]

Heh heh heh! I sound retarded! 

[zachthefisherman]

@msquad321 Heavier tippet would have been fantastic! But at this time I wasn't completely sure what I was doing (hence some of the ignorant comments ;p) Since this video I have upgraded to 6 and 8 pound!

@2bonthewater Thank you for being more understanding than most of the other users about our lack of a net! Actually this video is of my first real carp on the fly. Since then me and my best friend have found a net, and have learned first hand how smart these fish really are! If you watch newer videos you will see how much I have achieved since this video ;) thank you for your kind words!

guys, these are kids.............kids who are fishing..........they are learning.........as we all learned......

good job fellas...take a net--less stress on the fish--and less time for you to land it--which means-- more time to catch more fish !!!!......

and as stated by another poster........carp are pretty smart......

I love fishing for carp.......they are a blast to catch..........

[giovanniboydbonanno]

5 mins fer 1 carp? one thats maybe a pound? talk about bad fishermen, killing the fish an not just geting the fish in.

[zachthefisherman]

@trainexpertt All carp were released unharmed :)

[trainexpertt]

If you killed any of those Carp, you are automatically a Jackass

[TheKawasakidude]

@trainexpertt no they mess with the eco systim

[stevevks]

Great video, Indian Creek.....you must be close to me I live in Olathe Ks. You should get to Hillsdale lake lots of carp in the spring and summer I have caught a few over #20 on flyrod.

[zachthefisherman]

@stevevks I fish hillsdale all the time actually! Iv hit into some very large fish as well!

Hey Fly Fishing fans! we have a video of a song called FlyFishing on our page, give it a listen and it will make you want to go fly fishing!

[Msquad321]

Zach, you get it. However, don't go so low on your tippet ... 8 to even 12 lb fluoro is good. Permits you to whip 'em much faster. Carp are not eagle-eyed ... rather poor "up close" vision.

Stay on 'em. Carp need exercise too.

[batstarwars2]

So you've been fishing for carp on the Great lakes?

[zachthefisherman]

@batstarwars2 Mehhhh.... More or less... lol

[batstarwars2]

I live in Michigan, that's a bit to far to go for me.

[zachthefisherman]

@batstarwars2 tons of carp in the great lakes! Check out smallstreamfisherman for carp flies. as well as roughfisher,com

[batstarwars2]

Thanks man! where is Indian creek? I want to try carp fishing with my fly rod and that seems like a good spot to try. I would post videos of me fishing but I don't live close enough to any lake, river,ect to go by myself. 

[zachthefisherman]

@batstarwars2 Kansas city... do you live in kansas city?! Me and ben would be glad to take you carp fishing!

[batstarwars2]

I'm sorry this may seem like a stupid question but, I'm a begginer fly fisher and i'm not sure what a tippet is. Is that the thin line that you attach you're fly to?

[zachthefisherman]

@batstarwars2 Yes it is... Not a stupid question at all!

[batstarwars2]

I said in a earlyer commet that I have a 8 wieght rod, it's a 6 weight rod. Would I still be able to catch nice sized carp on it?

[batstarwars2]

I have a 9 ft 8 weight fly rod. Would I be able to catch nice sized carp on it?

[zachthefisherman]

@batstarwars2 Absolutely! As a matter of fact, I use a 5 wt to catch ALL of my carp!  You just need to work the fish right. A major up side to using a 6 wt is you can use tiny sized tippet like me. I use 6, 4 and 2 pound test for most of me carp

Watch out a pig will break your 5wt like a tooth pick.

But you said 'carp aren't very smart...' Maybe you should do a little reading on carp and their smartness ;)
