  Fly Fishing for Carp in NC 
  Henry Fowler

  
  

  Hello my name is Henry Fowler and would like to take you sight fishing for carp in NC. This is a sight fishing game. We will be patrolling the shallows searching for feeding fish. When we locate a fish we will make careful casts in front of it to elicit a strike. I must warn these fish are difficult at times to get to eat. If you connect to a fish it is on. The average size of these fish is  5 to 10 pounds.

  Mitchell River, Surry County, NC
  Saturday, October 6, 2018

  DH Stocking is scheduled for Monday, October 1, 2018

  The Mitchell River is upstream from Kapps Mill dam. The Mitchell has plenty of nice runs and deep holes holding stocked and holdover rainbows and browns mostly in the 9"- 15" range. The stream has good wade access; so, anglers regularly net good numbers of nice trout in the Mitchell. The Mitchell is designated Delayed Harvest and fishes well March, April, May, October, November and December.  The river is close by scenic wine making country surrounding Dobson, North Carolina home to Shelton Vineyards.

  Meetup Time: 8:30 am.  See below for meetup parking area.
  

  SOME BASIC EQUIPMENT SUGGESTIONS:
  Rod:
  Suggested length of 8’ to 10’ works well with 3 to 6 wt line.  Leader to match rod length in 3X to 5X.  Shorter leaders make casting weighted flies a little easier.  If desired, you can always add more tippet to lengthen leader.
  

  Flies:

  Insect	Emergence	Pattern
  Delayed Harvest Flies	All Day	Egg Patterns Y2K's Mop Flies Woolly Buggers (black, brown, olive, orange) San Juan Worms (red, pink are good color.) Squiggly Wiggly (red, pink, green, purple, etc)
  Blue Winged Olive  Caddis Flies  (Dry Flies)	Afternoon	12-18 Blue Winged Olive 14-24 Black CDC Comparadun  12-16 Elk Hair Caddis
  Stone Flies	All Day	14-16 Girdle Bug 12-16 Pats Rubber Leg 14-18 Black Adult Stone Fly
  Nymphs and Midges	All Day	18-24 Zebra Midge 16-20 Pheasant Tail Nymph 18-24 Olive Midge 14-18 Black Stone Fly Nymph
  Quill Gordon	Early Afternoon	12-14 Quill Gordon, Wet Fly & Dry Fly

  The fish will generally be in deep slow water. So use lots of weight to get fly down.  Fish dry flies mid to late afternoon or if you see a hatch coming off.  Size is not cast in concrete, so experiment with fly size and pattern.

  Helton Creek Weekend Day Outing
  Saturday, November 3, 2018
  Meetup at 9:00 am

  
  

  Helton Creek, nestled in the hills of Ashe County, is a jewel of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources delayed-harvest trout program. "A total of 26,600 catchable size trout are stocked in the delayed-harvest section of Helton Creek each year,” said Doug Besler, WRC regional research coordinator. “Approximately 3,750 catchable trout are stocked in October, November, March, April and May.” That’s a lot of trout.
  

  Helton Creek is stocked from the Virginia border to the junction with the New River.  One advantage of Helton Creek during the delayed-harvest period is that it’s one of the longest stretches of delayed-harvest stream around, 8 Miles.  There could be lots of folks fishing and an angler still doesn’t need to feel crowded.  Look around a little and you can find your own stretch to fish.  There are plenty of runs, pocket water and pools to fish.

  Here is a great link to information on Helton Creek by the Carolina Sportsman.

  

  SOME BASIC EQUIPMENT SUGGESTIONS:

  Rod:
  Suggested length of 8’ to 10’ works well with 3 to 6 wt line.  Leader to match rod length in 3X to 5X.  Shorter leaders make casting weighted flies a little easier.  If desired, you can always add more tippet to lengthen leader.
  

  Flies:

  Insect	Emergence	Pattern
  Delayed Harvest Flies	All Day	Egg Patterns Y2K's Mop Flies Woolly Buggers (black, brown, olive, orange) San Juan Worms (red, pink are good color.) Squiggly Wiggly (red, pink, green, purple, etc)
  Blue Winged Olive  Caddis Flies  (Dry Flies)	Afternoon	12-18 Blue Winged Olive 14-24 Black CDC Comparadun  12-16 Elk Hair Caddis
  Stone Flies	All Day	14-16 Girdle Bug 12-16 Pats Rubber Leg 14-18 Black Adult Stone Fly
  Nymphs and Midges	All Day	18-24 Zebra Midge 16-20 Pheasant Tail Nymph 18-24 Olive Midge 14-18 Black Stone Fly Nymph
  Quill Gordon	Early Afternoon	12-14 Quill Gordon, Wet Fly & Dry Fly

  The fish will generally be in deep slow water. So use lots of weight to get fly down.  Fish dry flies mid to late afternoon or if you see a hatch coming off.  Size is not cast in concrete, so experiment with fly size and pattern.  Season vs. Fly Size
