Nice video and a nice easy fly to tie. I’m in the uk and thinking of having a go at carp on the fly. Most of our carp are in stillwaters used by bait fishermen. How would you fish this? Floating line and long leader and figure 8 retrieve?
Thank you! You could definitely fish this fly that way - especially if fish visibility is a challenge. In clearer water I would use a drag and drop approach to get the fly to fall either in the path of a cruising fish or right next to a tailing fish.
A nice looking pattern.
Thank you! Drop this in front of a hungry carp and hold on tight!
Great pattern
Thank you so much! Do you do a lot of fly fishing for carp? What are some of your favorite patterns?
Sweet!
Thank you! Simple and dirty! What more can we ask of a carp fly?
