  • This was an insane experience for my first time fly fishing for carp in loaded golf course ponds! I doubt I would have landed this giant fish without the cart girl who went and got our net out of the car which was parked very far away!!!

    You did awesome man. I’ve tried to catch carp on the fly with no luck. I’ve caught a ton of striper and about every other freshwater species but have never hd luck with carp. Some day I will. Awesome job brother.

    when putting your 4 piece rods together pice it together from the rod tip first, down to the rod handle last. it will help keep your rod off the ground and puts less unneeded strain on the rod as a whole.

    I used to catch grass carp in ponds when I lived in Denver years ago. I'd put leaves on a fly or jig if I was using a spinning reel instead of a flyrod and cast it out to the group of carp and one of them would always slurp up the fresh leaf.

    Come up to NM for some trout. Just started on the fly myself. The guides from Taos Fly Shop are awesome. We fished the Chama and Rio De Los Pinos. Caught a nice 21 inch wild rainbow on the Chama. I'm hooked now. So glad I tried it. Keep up the vids dude.

    Awesome stuff. I'm loving the fly fishing for non traditional fly fishing species. You're motivating me to dig out my rod and reel and get some stuff for local area. (Boerne, TX) I was doing baitcasters and spinning gear in the river for small bass and panfish, but honestly I think I'd have more fun getting back into fly fishing.

    • @WestinSmith
      @WestinSmith  2 года назад

      Thanks ya!! Yeah I think for that area the fly makes a lot of sense you’ll be catching a ton!

    That’s epic, I was watching your story and I straight up was like this man needs to throw that chartreuse, but I didn’t think you’d get a SLAB! That’s crazy!!
    Yooooo! That girl came in clutch for the win! Kudos on tipping her man, she’s a straight up warrior for that one and for just cruising to your car no questions asked!
    I really want expecting that one, but she’s a true MVP!

    Also for carp if you find a fly fishing lure that looks like a worm like the San Juan worm that is chartreuse they love that also a brown one will do as well

    Another great video Westin. Find out how much weight your truck can tow. Check out trailers in that size. Or a class C RV so you can tow a boat or another trailer behind it. Contact some local manufacturers see if you can do a review. Mobile content and memory creating.🤙🏼

    Westin man. I got to say I love your energy. I’m a little bummed cause up here in mass the weather is starting to get cold and the bite are few and far. But dude I love watching your videos. My first swimbait rod I got was a mojo bass swimbait/ a rig and reel was the tranx 200 because I seen you get one and it looked like a good beginner set up. I’ve added to my collection now but that rig is still one of my favorite combos to toss 1-3 oz swims. Thankyou for you vids they are awesome. Cant wait to make it to Texas one day. I’d love to move there some day cause Florida just isn’t my style lmao. Keep at it man. Ps I think you may have got me into getting my first fly rod.

    Wow- Never really paid attention to your subs (# wise)……I would have guessed many more! You have a bright future……..especially if you somehow involved with Googans. Whatever- you the first to get out FLY fishin from a relatively new guy to RUclips that is actually A BIG PALLET! Numbers wise everyone (I think) “scared” of fly fishing and overall feeling. It HAS been around forever but you the first to take the “who give a f**k” googan style and says just go for it…….if you make mistakes then its a learning experience. You could go anywhere in US and just learn the art of fly fishing while humor and learning in fucking up. You head to Idaho/Montana, NE area with Jon B but Fly and space it out- you have a bunch of years of content. You got the rhythm and flow off the lip! I will support the hell outta you in the future!

    I lived on a shallow river in Wisconsin and a friend of mine told me about fishing on lake Michigan for carp he likened it to bone fishing. I found that if i used a small ball of white bread on a trout hook i could get a carp to bite . if you have ever caught a 3 pound carp on a 4 weight fly rod you will be hooked. You can also have an experience that rivals salt water fishing whiteout all of the expense of travel . I can see why Europeans target them for sport.
