Description

"I enjoy targeting trout as much as the next person, but what really gets my heart racing is the idea of getting a large carp to eat one of my bugs. Golden Bones! They truly are magical fish, and the Metro Denver area may be one of the best carp fisheries in North America. With the Denver South Platte flowing through downtown, providing all kinds of great carp habitat, I designed this fly to quickly penetrate the water column and dance enticingly to get carps' attention."

Field Notes

Designed for carp in freshwater, especially when fish are feeding near the bottom in rivers and urban waters. The description emphasizes quick penetration through the water column and an enticing dance, so it should be fished to get down fast and then presented with subtle movement near the bottom.

Pros

  • Gets down quickly to reach feeding carp
  • Highly visible orange profile for dirty or stained water
  • Bug-like silhouette can trigger wary fish

Cons

  • Specialized carp pattern, so it may be less versatile for other species
  • Likely best on a precise presentation rather than a fast retrieve
