Most of my favorite carp flies are ones of my own creation. I stick with crayfish imitations mostly. I have some that are modified off production ties such as Rainy’s carptease as well. I have found that most production carp flies are not all that great to begin with.
I’m definitely in for the next one – I just got a new Peak vise and I’m ready to hit the bench hard.
Aaron, my girlfriend saw your big ‘ole muskie fly on the table yesterday and nearly keeled over – she thought it was a big bug or something. That must mean it’s good for the fish…..
