Episode Details

Our destination is North Sterling Reservoir in Eastern Colorado for probably the most underrated and overlooked of all freshwater fish – Carp! Our guest is Jeff Wagner, CEO of Mayfly Outdoors, better known for such iconic brands such as Ross, Abel, and Airflow. North Sterling is a medium sized reservoir loaded with big carp where 40 fish days are not uncommon.

Educated as a biologist, Jeff grew up in Nebraska and shares his journey from Cabelas retail store clerk to CEO of one of the top brands in the industry. Today Jeff covers common carp, grass carp, food sources and feeding habits, top fly patterns and colors, where carp hangout in lakes, why windy days can be awesome, plus what types of rods and setups work best.

Do carp get a bad rap? You be the judge!

With Host, Steve Haigh
