Synopsis of Class
The common carp is a much maligned fish here in North America.  Considered by most in Europe as a prize game fish, fly fishing for carp is big sport over seas.  Slowly, folks on this side of the pond are discovering just how much fun carp on a fly are.  Whether you are fishing for carp in your favorite stream, lake or reservoir, there are certain flies which are great producers.  The key is presentation and not spooking these wary fish.

Often referred to as the "Golden Bones" because they are found in shallow water and just as difficult to catch as saltwater bonefish.  Carp love to feed on crawdads, nymphs, worms, salamanders and small fish; they are not the trash eaters many people think they are.  In this class we will be tying up three different patterns that are good carp producers.  As an added bonus they do not do to bad at catching smallmouth as well (often found in the same water as carp).
