Bread Fly?
I know there are bread fly patterns out there. I need to look into them a bit more closely. I was fly-fishing a city park earlier this year, and folks were throwing bread chunks to the ducks. I saw a number of large carp enjoying this feast too. I tossed my flies right in amongst the bread and just let them set, but didn't have any takers. I don't recall what I was using...
Anyway, as I sit here, I was picturing what bread looks like in water, and how it sort of breaks apart and dissolves... Wouldn't a bunch of white marabou tightly palmered around the hookshank sort of look like wet bread?
Has anybody tried this, or come across another "bread" pattern that has worked for them?
