Fly Rod/equipment For Carp

[joshmark]

I want to start by saying I don't know much about fly fishing but many of my friends fly fish for carp. My question is what kind of fly rod/reel combo should I buy to start catching carp and what type of flies and colors should I get also what line? I'll be fishing ponds and reservoirs for common carp. I'm new to this I I don't want to break the bank maybe 100 bucks for a combo unless that's not enough lol. I have a bass pro near me so if you could recommend one that they might sell. Thanks

First off welcome to these forums. I'm pretty sure BPS has a decent house brand combo for under 100. I'd go for about a 7 weight combo as the flies you'll be using are not large and wind resistant. You'll want a stout leader not over 6'. It'll make casting easier.  As far as flies anything size 4 or 6 that looks like some bottom dwelling creature.  Wooly Buggers are popular. If you're fortunate to have mulberries close by a purple or black egg pattern can be real good in the late spring.  Good luck and hang on.  Sounds like fun.
