BS Simi Seal Leach - Top Carp Flies

Carp flies should be simple and impressionistic. This extremely simple pattern imitates both a leach and damsel and flat out catch fish.

[@jedicazador]

Thanks really enjoy your videos

[@carponthefly8282]

Thanks for watching!

[@dejongpol]

Great video's verry helpfully. The dubbing you are using what specific color this is ?

[@carponthefly8282]

This is the black/red Arizona Simi Seal. This is my favorite for carp.

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

Thanks man! I will tye some up. How do you think this will work in Texas?

[@carponthefly8282]

It should. Damsel flies and leaches are both pretty common in Texas water, so this fly should absolutely work well.

[@8850tm]

Good video, do you sell any of this pattern?

[@carponthefly8282]

I do not sorry. I am trying to find a good supplier for carp flies, but right now I don’t have one to share. If I do I will update with that information.

[@benfishin-oi3xt]

Are the colors on the carp slider important? Do the carp spook from such bright colors?

[@carponthefly8282]

The traditional fly is tied in a rust color. And I am sure that would work. Also Olive or black. The blue is supposedly the color of the crayfish right after they molt. That is where that combo comes from. I have had good luck with that color in a couple different spots. But you certainly could use different colors.

Hook size ? Materials in English,

[@carponthefly8282]

Anywhere from a size 2-12. Most of the forage in my area is 2-3” so I tie a lot of 2-4 for those. The wing is craft fur, the dubbing is the craft fur under hair, red and black barred rubber legs. 3.4mm bead chain, or lead dumbbell if you are fishing deeper water or water with current. Cheers!

@@carponthefly8282 Thanks but put it in your post.

[@dariomanfroi9447]

Thank you. Are the bead chain in plastic?

[@carponthefly8282]

Yes they are, I this same fly with plastic bead chains. 3.4mm or 4mm stainless bead chain, and with dumbbell eyes. Depending on the depth of the water.

@@carponthefly8282 thank you very much

[@NDFlyFisher]

Is there an alternative hook? I can seem to find the one you use.

[@carponthefly8282]

You can really use any bonefish hook. Gamakatsu SL12S. Or this is even better
