Speaker: Jack Littleton, “Avoid Crowds – Fly Fish for Carp”
Tuesday January 13, 2026 Endwell Fire Station #1, 3508 Country Club Road, Endwell, NY; 7:00 PM
Local Rivers abound with carp. Have you ever considered it? If you enjoy uncrowded river fishing, spot and stalk sight fishing for truly huge fish and challenging yet rewarding days on the river . . . then carp fishing is for you.
When told: “Carp are impossible to catch on a fly”, Jack took that as a challenge and has since worked on the specific skills needed to catch them. Jack still considers carp . . . i.e. the Golden Bonefish . . . one of the most challenging fish to catch on a fly. His presentation captures his learnings to date that have helped him land over 100 carp on the fly.
Jack’s presentation shares flies, tactics, equipment, and loads of helpful tips in pursuing these huge and tough fish. Jack has competed in the famous Denver TU Carp Slam fundraiser, which brings together some of the best carp fly fishers in the country.
If you fly fish for carp already or you are interested in learning, you don’t want to miss this talk. This will be a truly don’t-miss presentation. You will find he is an entertaining speaker and enthusiastic teacher.
Jack Littleton is a third generation Corning Incorporated retiree and accomplished fly fisherman starting at age 3. He was a Biology Major in college. Throughout his life, he has enjoyed hunting big game with archery and conventional hunting gear around the world. In addition, he is one of the most successful fisher trappers in southern New York. He has brought these varied skills and experiences together with his fly fishing passion to take on the challenge of carp fishing.
He is happiest fishing for large powerful fish and has traveled far and wide in their pursuit. His fishing passion has led him to a dozen destinations in the Bahamas and Belize for bonefish, Labrador and Quebec for Atlantic Salmon, bass as far away as Maine, Redfish in Texas and Tampa Bay and even Giant Trevally in the Seychelles (plus tarpon, Arctic Char, and many, many more).
