Fly Fishing for Carp is a unique experience that every angler should try if they have not already. Though carp are often an underrated species, these fish will challenge you technically and test your landing skills. Not to mention they will take you to your backing everytime. Many people compare fishing for carp to fishing for Reds on the flats. Carp are often found cruising the shallows and tailing for crawfish on the banks, as well as slurping spent wing bugs from the foam. Due to this, we utilize a flats boat while chasing these spirited fish, which only adds to the experience of Rocky Mountain flats fishing.
Our guided carp trips accommodate two anglers, with one angler fishing at a time- similar to how you would fish on the saltwater flats. We typically run these trips May through September when the Carp fishing is at it’s best. Equipment is provided as part of the trip at no added cost. However, if you are looking to bring your own fly fishing gear Crazy Rainbow Fly Fishing Guides would recommend 7 or 8 weight rods with quality reels.
Trips start early in the morning and run about 8 hours long. The cost per trip is $625.00 and can be booked through the Ugly Bug Fly Shop at (307)-234-6905.
My family and I have been customers of Crazy Rainbow for years. It would take us some time to try and calculate how many fish we have caught with them over the years.

BEYOND EXPECTATIONS!
I spent a week in July fishing with Ugly Bug guides Justin, Troy, and Addie (also at the shop) on the North Platte catching rainbows, cutthroats, and browns. I have fly fished most of my adult years, and this was by far the best trip of my life.
