Tippets: Cowen on Carp, Fish Every Cast

August 30, 2016 By: Erin Block

  • Henry Cowen, a Georgia-based fly fishing guide, spends winters guiding for stripers and summers chasing carp. Cowen talks about techniques and tactics for chasing carp on the fly in a recent episode of the Fishing with a Fly podcast.
  • Not every cast will be a great one, but even bad casts can catch fish. “The trout you’re fishing to don’t know that you made lackluster cast,” writes Justin Pickett, “and that presentation may even drift over trout that you didn’t even know were there. Like I said, your flies aren’t going to catch fish if they’re not on the water, so let ‘em drift!” Via Gink & Gasoline.
