Nice fish! I bet they put up a great fight! Just out of curiosity, do you have any pics or a recipe of your soft hackle glo bug? It sounds like an interesting combination, and I’ve still never caught one on a fly…
Any other advice for fly selection?
Thanks!
Sure, here is material
Tie in Chenille and figure 8 it to build up a ball. Wrap tightly:
Tie in the feather and wrap two or three times
I fish this off a floating line with a 9 foot leader. I have tied this in Red, Orange, Chartreuse, but yellow is the constant.
I have caught them on other flies including Elk Hair Caddis, but nothing like this corn ball.
WOW! what a prompt and thorough response! Thanks for the tutorial!
Sooo… do you strip it in or just let it sit in front of them? …put corn on it?
…
All natural..
If I can see the carp, I place it right in front of them and twitch. If I can’t see the carp which believe it or not, is 90% of the time, I cast it out, count to 5 and very slow steady retrieve. Sometimes, I turn to the side, pulling it. Feel any resistance, Bill Dance it literally.
Im going to have to tie some of these up soon, are they still biting good down their?
