dflanagan 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2017 So unless I missed it somewhere, it looks like it's been a long time since there was a carp fly swap. I've gotten the required number of swaps done and was considering hosting one but wanted to see if there would be any interest in a carp swap. Anyone here fish for the ugly, rubber-lipped things?

Hayemaker 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2017 Haven't ever fished for carp. Looking at possible patterns, they all look above my ability. I'll have to pass on this swap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have to pass on this swap.I haven't fly fished for them yet either but I've tied a few patterns for them. Damsel nymphs and soft hackles work pretty well from all I've read. Lots of simple stuff out there for them (thankfully, or I'd never get any tied). Give it a shot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicente 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2017 Don't let that scare you off hayemaker, most of the warm water ties are much easier then they look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
