How to fly fish for carp?

The equipment

Fly fishing for carp combines finesse, strategy, and adrenaline. This visual and technical pursuit reveals the full nobility of this cyprinid, which has become a true sport fish.

To fly fish for carp, you will need

• A rod of 9 to 10 feet in #7 to #8 line weight, capable of handling powerful runs.
• A size 7/8 reel. 
• A WF-profile floating fly line allows you to present imitations (bread, nymphs, scuds, bloodworms) precisely, sight fishing or along the margins.
• The leader should be sturdy, with a tippet of 20 to 25/100, to withstand the power of carp — and don't forget the backing, as depending on the size of the fish, you are very likely to need it!
• You can also opt for a pack where everything is already set up and all you have to do is head to the water's edge.
• A large landing net and a unhooking mat.
• Polarized sunglasses
