Carp Fly: Tie & Catch


 After a suggestion from a viewer I decided to do this video where I tie a fly then go out and film myself catching fish on it. The flies I tied were a simple worm and an improved spork. A couple of days later I took them to a local river for some small stream fly carpin'. Conditions were OK but rain the previous days had made the water a bit dirty, which made seeing fish difficult at times, but I still managed to catch on both flies, getting several eats on each of them.

Partridge & Yellow

  The light partridge and yellow really is a deadly North country spider. Despite its simplicity, this fly is a great taker of both trout and grayling and frankly, the partridge and yellow should be in every river angler's box.
