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 with current. The fly is meant to penetrate the water column quickly and then move with an enticing dance to trigger a take. It should be fished as a subsurface carp bug with controlled drifts or short retrieves.

Pros

  • Built specifically for carp fishing
  • Fast-sinking profile helps reach feeding fish
  • High-visibility orange body can help fish locate it

Cons

  • May be too specialized for general trout fishing
  • Likely best in clearer water where the profile can be tracked
