Looking for some great tips and ideas for carp fishing? Check out these free online publications.
North American Carp Angler- This is the latest online magazine from the Carp Anglers Group. You can access this magazine by going to the homepage of the CAG at http://www.carpanglersgroup.com/cag/
Just scroll down about halfway and you will see the magazine cover and just click. You do not have to be a member to see the magazine.
US Carp Pro- This is one of my favorite magazines. If you go to the US Carp Pro site at http://carppro.net/ and register (free) you will be e-mailed the latest version of the magazine. You can also access past magazines from the US Carp Pro site. The latest issue of this magazines have some interesting reads, many of which are directed to fly fishermen. Patterns of flies, fly fishing from a boat, and dropping and dragging techniques are just some of the fly fishing features. There are also a number of articles for traditional carp fishermen that feature baiting ideas and rigging ideas. However, I was particularly impressed with the editorial titled "Culture Shock". It talks about the evolving carp scene here in the US and how their popularity as a gamefish has been surging in recent years, even though they are not treated with respect in some places (RI DEM.....this would be a good read for you guys). Following this article was an advertisement for one of the latest books on carp fishing called "Orvis Guide to Fly Fishing for Carp". Hmm, can't get more mainstream than that. Wouldn't it be great if some of these well respected and conservation minded fly fishing groups like Trout Unlimited here in RI would jump on the carp fishing bandwagon.
