It seems, after 30 or so years, the carp has finally arrived. Still don’t believe me? Consider the facts; fishing for carp is one the fastest growing facets of freshwater fly fishing and my once tranquil and unfished carp waters now find fly anglers in nearly every good hole throughout the year.
Carp flies are now readily found and sold at most shops and even fly lines have been manufactured specifically for targeting carp. And yes, it is now even possible to hire a guide for a carp-onthe-fly outing and to even travel to specific destinations to pursue the mighty carp. Yes indeed the carp has arrived and I for one knew someday the carp would reach the masses!
Barry Reynolds. The Godfather of flyfishing for carp, Barry Reynolds has written numerous highly acclaimed books including the groundbreaking "Carp on the Fly" and "Pike on the Fly". For years Barry has engaged in writing and speaking to promote the acceptance of less utilized species as respectable flyfishing quarries.
