In this last regular article of editor Paul Sharman's short series for beginners on targetting carp on the fly he considers a way of increasing your chances - when one fly is just not enough!

Watch out for the occasional future follow-up article in this series and also more content covering how to target and catch many more coarse species on the fly over the rest of the season.

Just as with any sort of fishing, where you fish can often make the difference between a good and an ordinary day of fishing or hopefully catching. Carp are already well known for having certain feeding patterns and routes around their local patch. Studying these and knowing where to start, particularly on a new water can save lots of time when trying to locate feeding carp to target with a fly.

Fish&Fly editor Paul Sharman continues his series on Carp on the Fly by looking at the 3 L's. Location, location, location!

In the first two articles in this series, Fish & Fly editor and self-admitted carp on the fly fanatic Paul Sharman covered basic gear and how to start casting, now we move onto flies for carp. What makes a good carp fly??

With this article we are very pleased to welcome Alex Jardine to the Fish & Fly team! Already a succesful angler in his own right, Alex has represented England at World Youth level several times and represents the next generation of up and coming fly fishers. This first short article looks briefly at a branch of our sport enjoying new life of late - coarse fish on the fly and reminds us all that there is still sport to be had even at this time of year! Welcome Alex!

Part 2 of Fish & Fly editor Paul Sharman's series on fly fishing for carp and he's 'keeping it real'!

So last time we got you all set up with your new fly-fishing tackle, now you just need to know how to use it right! Well, let me start off by saying that 30 years of bad habits and a singular lack of any formal casting lessons under my belt do not necessarily make me the best person to try to teach you how to cast like the guys and girls you see all backlit and shown in slow-motion in the movies and the more artsy television fishing programs.
