Maybe to Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles or Ronnie Milsap, :lol: but not to me! JMHO! Seriously, it is a very good pattern. :wink:

Carp, since it's not weighted, are you fishing it in stillwaters, e.g. lakes instead of rivers?

I'm assuming very slowly too? Does it work best in shallower waters...maybe around 3 ft dp?

I'm interested. Thanks,

Jeremy

Thanks for the recipe, gonna have to try those out next year :D

Jeremy, actually most of my fishing is in shallow waters where I can see tha carp, this fly sinks fairly slow, I carry 3 versions of the fly one weightless as the one in the pic, another one with bead chain eyes and a third one with lead eyes, just be usre to get the fly really wet before presenting it to a carp, because it will float on the first cast if not wet.
