carp on flies
AWESOME!!! But I don't get why at like 2:22 he wants.........fudge?????? LOL
'fudge" is a special term used by fly fishers. It comes in handy in every day life too!
That was cool! Wish our waters were as clear as that! Sure would make spotting fish easier.
I've always thought Whitlock's NearNuff Crayfish (that Barry was using often in the video) looked like a great pattern with lots of built-in movement.
Feather claws are difficult (for me) to get positioned properly. They tend to want to turn after I think I've got them just how I want them. I liked Davy McPhail's Carp Crayfish video:

It has no claws. I tied these up, similar to Davy's pattern, but without the eyes/rubber legs. Fairly quick, easy tie. Can't wait to see if the fish approve.
As you can see in this next picture, they seem to "stand up" very nicely:
Also tied up a no-flash Foxee Red Clouser for comparison:
These all look like fish-catchers to me!
