Tactics ☺ CARPPRO

JUSTIN WATKINS I was born and raised in northern Minnesota where I grew up targeting pike and bass. Following college I moved to SE Minnesota, where I now reside. Shortly after my relocation I discovered and began to target carp with the fly rod. My fishing now is split between fishing trout, pike and bass and carp all on the fly. http://www.fishingandthinking.blogspot.com/

Way back I fished something very similar for smallmouth bass in Northern Minnesota. Burning a bit over that concept and the known response that carp offer to San Juan worms I dusted off the “yarn worm”; restyled a bit and turned out a dozen or so. The result is my contribution to the swap. I call it “The FYI”. FYI stands for Yarn Invasion, with the prefix modifier or your choice.

NOLAN MAJCHER 21 years old from Pittsburgh PA. Obsessed with fly fishing, particularly for carp. If I’m not fishing I'm probably hunting.

Designed for use when a delicate presentation and medium to slow sink rate is necessary. These patterns also combine the effectiveness of both a worm and an egg pattern. They work well when fished on the bottom, but can be just as good fished mid column to cruisers. These are my go to patternsfor shallow, spooky fish.
