Carp on the Fly

I know that we have some 'Brothers of the Angle' amongst our Brothers of the Briar so I thought this may be of interest. No pipes here though, just fish. It is also some evidence to show the Old Man, who is currently away, as he sounded slightly incredulous on the phone!

Oh, boy....did I enjoy! If you ever come stateside and come to my neck of the woods we'll go to the U.S. Great Lakes and site fish for carp with fly rods! The water is so clear it's like fishing in Bermuda for bonefish on the flats! You wade along, see a fish cruising and cast to it until you catch him. Where did you get those pellet flies? Might want to try that.....

@Charredbriar I get my flies at Albury Game Angling who you can find on google, but I am sure there must be somewhere in the USA that you can find them. They are quite common over here, but I think that you fellas in the USA are much more adventurous with your fly fishing and the number of species you catch on the fly. Rightly so as it's the best way to fish!

Great video Jim! This is a big carp. I like fishing ,in addition, a very popular here winter fishing, when the lakes and rivers is closed by ice. People dress up warm, drill holes in the ice and sit for hours over the hole. But the summer fishing is more pleasant of course.

@ZubrisLV Those were quite nice fish, but they go up to 3 times the size in those lakes! I think something that big would pull my arm off! What kinds of fish do you catch through the ice?

Hi there.

Great stuff.

I really enjoy your videos, your style, the atmosphere and the info. Quite inspiring, due to which I now smoke a lot of nice tobacco.

Thanks to you.

I guess we might see you soon with the camera mounted on your head, so we can enjoy your straight lines in the false casts. lol.

Cheers

@PipesterJim Generally it's a bream or a ruff. Also come across the roach, perch, silver bream... next question should be "How did you prepare it ?":-)
