Carp On The Fly Bourbon Country Outfitter 

Carp on the fly is one of the fastest-growing challenges in modern fly fishing, and Bourbon Country Outfitter is excited to introduce anglers in our region to this exciting and highly addictive pursuit.

Rather than spending the day blind casting and hoping for a bite, these trips are all about actively stalking individual fish in shallow water. You’ll fish from a 16’ flat-bottom aluminum boat designed specifically for sight fishing, complete with an elevated casting platform at the bow and a poling platform at the stern. The experience is surprisingly similar to stalking fish on the saltwater flats, requiring patience, observation, stealth, and accurate presentations.

Some days can provide dozens of opportunities, while weather and water conditions may limit us to just a handful of shots. That’s part of what makes carp on the fly such a rewarding challenge. The focus is on quality encounters rather than simply catching numbers of fish, and landing a powerful wild carp on a fly rod is an experience many anglers remember for years.

These trips are best suited for anglers with previous fly-fishing experience. While many shots may be at relatively short distances, accurate casting and proper presentations are essential. Carp can be extremely wary, and the ability to place a fly accurately without spooking the fish can make all the difference.

Whether you're an experienced saltwater flats angler looking for a freshwater challenge or preparing for a once-in-a-lifetime destination where you may only get one opportunity at the fish of your dreams, carp fishing close to home is an excellent way to sharpen your sight-fishing skills at a fraction of the cost.

We recommend bringing polarized sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, weather-appropriate clothing, and something for snack.
