    Default carp flies

    I tied up some carp flies. Very simple fly pattern I leaned from missourifly on youtube. I got the bonefish hooks as they are much stronger in case I stick one of them pigs!

    Wow didn't even know carp would hit flies. Thought of them mostly as doughball and bagel eating baits. If you got a carp on a fly rod would it break it? They are pretty strong. Good luck and hope you land one!

    John Barbosa catches them all the time. I aim to get my first one this year. Will post pix if not pix and video when I do get one.

    Very nice work. There's something about catching a fish on something you create. Can't beat it.

    Nice ties, I couldn't tie something that small if my life depended on it. I suffer from FAT FINGERS.

    I used a much smaller fly. I will try and take a picture when I get home tonight.

    Me too John, but the more I do it the better at tying smaller, not tying, but tying smaller, lol!
