Any way to catch Carp without fly?

Post by Tristanm15 »

I will be going to fish for carp during the summer and I don't like fly fishing. Is there any other way to catch them using lures/other baits?

Just run a search on carp rigs there are tones.
Most common hook covered with corn, bread or worm.
Hair rigs. Etc.

I would guess the vast majority of carp are not caught on the fly. Fishing with bait is more common. Google and try a method that suits your style..

I would love to fly fish for them sometime.... Sight fishing and stalking them really requires patience and stealth. It is definitely a more active way yo fish for them. You could catch them locally when they are surfacing for offerings.

Let us know if you catch any on the fly.

For still fishing I second others recommendations to look into a bolt or Carolina rig.
