January flies from the vise

Recommended Posts

Decided to join a Carp fly swap my buddy was organizing. I've never fished for them nor tied carp flies but I kind of just came up with one based on what I've seen. I think it came out pretty decent. Might have to start going after a few.

Nice looking patterns JacksonK. I fish carp quite a bit and I'm very confident your patterns will produce. Give them a go and get into some gold!

Very nice wings NoSlack! What kind of feather did you use?

I used mallard flank for the wings.

Thank you, Flafly ... I think it's from sitting in a hotel room.

I gotta admit, the flies I tie when I have nothing else to do, make me realize how some of the REALLY GOOD guys get that good. I reckon there's nothing like several months a year of cold driven captivity to sharpen your skills at the vise.

Well, I am in Chicago ... surrounded by this white stuff. All the water here is so polluted you can walk across it, I guess. It's very hard with no visible flow ... I don't understand !!!

 

I'll be back in Florida, where the water acts like water, in February. I'll let you know something, then.
