Beyond Trout : A Flyfishing Guide by Barry Reynolds, John Berryman
(Contributor), John Gierach
Flyfishing in Colorado by Marty Bartholomew
Carp on the Fly: A Flyfishing Guide by Barry Reynolds, Brad Befus,
John Berryman. It had to happen! I guess carp are going to get trendy
now. Gierach has been writing about, and participating in, a carp tournament
for years and now there is a guide to carp on the fly. My first carp
on a flyrod was a thirty inch twelve pounder that took a long time to
land on a six-weight rod and left me wondering why I had never done
this before! They can be "spooky" zooming away at the slightest disturbance
in the water. They can be selective refusing absolutely perfect casts
if the fly is not exactly what they want, and most of all they are fun,
abundant and BIG.
