25 Best Carp Fishing YouTube Channels You Can’t Live Without

N.Cutler Updated on Carp Fishing Articles

Here we are again in the frigid months of winter. Some of us are crazy enough to brave the cold and wet conditions in the hopes of a single bite, but for others, what can we do to satisfy our carpy thoughts?

In the winter months here in Canada, I tend to dedicate most of my time to researching and testing new bait and tactics indoors. Tieing new rigs, checking out new gear online, seeing how bait performs in my underwater test tank, etc. All in anticipation of that early spring session.

It is amazing the amount of content that can be found for free online these days. YouTube is the best place to find entertaining and educational content geared towards carp anglers. In this article, I will cover my favourite carp fishing tv programs, shows and youtube channels.
