When trout rivers start warming up, it doesn’t mean it’s time to hang up the fly rod for the summer. Our own Dustin White recently joined Tom Rosenbauer on the Orvis Fly Fishing Podcast to talk about one of the hardest fighting and most addictive fish you can target on a fly rod: carp. These fish are built like tanks, thrive in almost any environment, and can be found everywhere from muddy backwaters to crystal clear mountain reservoirs. Hook into a good one, and there’s a decent chance you’ll see your backing before the fight is over.
In the episode, Dustin shares some of the techniques and lessons he’s learned guiding for carp in the heart of trout country. From spotting fish and making the right presentation to understanding carp behavior, there’s plenty of useful information for anyone looking to stay on the water during the heat of summer. If you’re searching for a new challenge and want to experience some of the most exciting fly fishing around, this is an episode worth a listen.
