Shaggy


This scruffy number is a great choice for carp. It can be tied in different sizes and weights to cover a range of different fishing situations from subsurface "shoppers" in still waters to tailers in fast river riffles and everything in between. When visiting a new water or your not sure what they're eating, the shaggy soft-hackle woolly worm is a good bet. In fact it's as close to a universal carp fly as you'll get!

Partridge & Yellow
