So I've heard from many sources that the Clouser swimming nymph is a destroyer against carp. The problem is, I can't find them anywhere in the Lewisville/Carrollton area that sells this type of fly. I'm going to take up fly tying once I can financially, but until then does anyone know of any places near that area that sells this fly?

I followed that link and IMHO that fly (the Clouser swimming nymph) is so ugly that I am sure I can tie a workable version but while looking at it I saw the Clouser Swimming Nymph Hot Butt below itand I am going to tie a few to see how they imitate shrimp in the salt. Learn something every day

Should you decide you want to tie them, there's a good set of pattern instructions on the Fly Anglers Online website ( www.flyanglersonline.com). Best way to find it is to put "Clouser Swimming Nymph" in the search box on the upper left of their home page.

Flies came today. Here is a picture, I can take close ups if anyone wants. I will look for Hot Butt instructions as well. The small white thing propped up against a knife is a shrimp

I've got some of the hot butts too. The thing is I've ordered a bunch of different kinds of flys, but usually wind up fishing a wooly bugger or a popper.

The small white thing propped up against a knife is a shrimp For the prices they are charging, those look pretty damn good. That seems like a good place to fill the fly box with the basics.
