Just messing around bastardizing a few carp patterns. Wanted to put some stuff together using what I had. They aren't the cleanest ties, but eh, I'm not the cleanest tier.

Looks like the majority of these have huge eyeballs. What does this type of tie emulate?

And more you shall:




The big eyes are to get it down quicker and keep it hook up. I was trying for some river flies.

I used this kraken dubbing on a few of the other flies as well. This was from ftd.

Alright, my photography is as sloppy as my fly tying.

Nothing new here, just trying to get better at taking pictures:

I'd bet those will get eaten often as crawfish, dragonfly youngsters, or just something ambiguously delicious.

Love the flies. I can't see anything passing up a chance at a mouthful like that!
Good job! Let us know what the other denizens of the deep think.

Caught a couple of carp on that last orange one today. Guess it will work smile

Pearow, I picked up that rod from someone on here, but it's one of yours. It's a great rod! I feel like a stole it !
