After seeing some of Jean Paul Lipton's (a.k.a. "the Roughfisher") fly patterns designed primarily for "underutilized species"that he shared with the Fly Fish Ohio website, I had to tie up one of his "Carp Crack" wet flies.

looks great
Looks like a good fly for smallies and crappie as well as carp. Thanks for sharing.
That looks pretty neat! How did you color the eyes?
A guy might be able to tie that on a jig hook, use weighted eyes, and tie it in pink and catch a crappie this time of the year through a little hole in some hard water.
The Green Hornet strikes again!!!
Fingernail polish! I noticed in most of JPL's patterns that use beadchain eyes, he paints them. Usually orange or chartreuse.Originally Posted by quivira kid
I've seen painted beadchain available for purchase from some websites that sell fly-tying materials.
Or, you could use Testor's model paints.
