Product Description
Discover the secrets of flyfishing for carp—learn the habits and habitats of these challenging fish, what flies they’ll take, and how to put those flies in the right place at the right time to catch carp consistently.

Barry Reynolds and John Berryman, authors of "Pike on the Fly" and "Beyond Trout," have joined with Brad Befus to challenge you to take advantage of what is certainly the last, great, overlooked flyfishing resource in North America. Put aside your preconceptions, read "Carp on the Fly" with an open mind, and you’ll soon be flyfishing for big, strong, smart fish in water just minutes from your home. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Even purists should buy it!, November 24, 1997
By Edward J. Quigley (Lansdale, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Very nice little book. Lots of "how-tos," where to find the critters and figure out what they're up to and all the flies they like, how to tie them plus a valuable section by Whitlock on the flies he uses for carp. Yes, Whitlock fishes for carp! But why is there no chapter on how to cook one of these creatures? No fishing book is complete (even in the age of love 'em and leave 'em)without one. Shame on you.

5.0 out of 5 stars You're Fishing For WHAT?, April 24, 2002
I can finally come out of the closet! Yes, I fish for Carp. Initially with bait but now with a fly rod. This book is a super introduction to the freshwater Bonefish. Carpfishing on the Fly has all you need to get started. Whether it's tackle, tactics or fly patterns you're looking for it's in this book. Of course, there is a great section on why to fish for carp as well as sections on the life cycle and biology of the Golden Salmon. Chances are good you'll find carp near where you live. Grab this book and your fly rod and head for the water.
