hopperfisher 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2013 I'm now addicted to carp on the fly. I started tying some flies for them this evening, what do you guys think? Hook: #6 natural bend Thread: Uni 3/0 orange Body: thread wrapped over poly yarn Eyes: Large red dumbell eyes Tail: orange and yellow marabou Hackle: Grizzly, moistened and splayed to the sides P.S. sorry if the recipe is out of order, haven't done many Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
