Join lifelong fly fisherman Jeff Currier for an in-depth exploration of one of the most challenging and rewarding species to target on the fly–carp. This course covers everything you need to know, from understanding carp behavior and habitats to selecting the right gear, flies, and techniques for different environments. You'll learn how to locate, approach, and successfully hook these wary fish using proven strategies for lakes, rivers, and reservoirs.

Currier will also discuss conservation best practices, the role of carp in the angling world, and why chasing these powerful fish will make you a better all-around fly angler. Whether you're new to carp fishing or looking to refine your skills, this course will help you master the art of fly fishing for carp.

In this module, Currier speaks about how none of the carp species targeted by fly anglers in North America are native to this continent. Nevertheless, he speaks to treating the fish with respect and appreciating the value they provide to fly anglers.

Currier is a world-traveling fly angler, artist, and educator who’s caught over 440 species on the fly across 60-plus countries.

Known for his adventurous spirit and deep species knowledge, he brings a global perspective and decades of experience to every course and conversation.
