Field Notes

This carp fly is meant to imitate a small baitfish or other prey item and is fished on a fly rod for carp in warmwater situations. Use it with slow strips or a dead-drift presentation near cruising fish, especially around shallow flats, edges, and other areas where carp feed.

Pros

  • Natural olive profile for wary fish
  • Good match for carp and warmwater feeding situations
  • Simple fly that can be presented multiple ways

Cons

  • Not a versatile all-purpose trout fly
  • Likely best when fish are actively feeding
  • Size 6 may be too large for very selective fish
