A note from @johngsherman

“I have been chasing Delta Carp for 15 years now and it has been an incredible journey. I was out with my 11 year old son @kasixsherman on a glorious May day. It was all about him and he had just landed a 14 pound Delta Carp. Kasix was stoked and said “Dad you’re up!”

“I grabbed the rod and stood on point. Thirty seconds go by and this giant comes cruising down the edge coming right at me. It’s crazy to see how with the turn of the tide they can go from lockjaw to eating almost any well-presented fly pattern. Fortunately, I was on the right side of the tide and she gobbled it up. After a 10 minute battle, she was in my hands. My largest Delta Carp to date, weighing in at 32lbs. I was mind boggled since I have seen fish nearly twice this size. Some day I plan on sticking on of those!”

Our Favorite Carp Flies

Nelson Oxley
I’m originally from Tabernash, Colorado, and my passion for fishing started early, influenced by my grandfather, who managed Nelson’s Fly Shop. As soon as I got my driver’s license, I began guiding, and now I’m in my seventh year of doing so. I am a Account Manager at Flylords. I work with various brands in the industry to grow their digital marketing presence and run campaigns to increase their product and brand visibility. One thing I love about Flylords is the passion that goes into our work; everyone is deeply involved in what we strive to create. My favorite types of fishing are casting dry flies from a drift boat and stalking flats species from a skiff!
