this pattern was used by my client , Gary, to nail his first carp ever. I was guiding him on the Los Angeles river, just north of downtown L.A. on 5/12/15 we'd been fishing a few choice locations, but I brought him to a favorite stretch, I had him tie on the HYBRID (Red Tail, Bronze Peacock Diamond Brite Dubbing, Caddis Green Ringneck Rump hackle and black eyes) within a few casts, Gary's 6wt. doubled over on a fine Carp that went 7-8 lbs. Gary was soo happy with the Carp , and now he's hooked on fishing for them.
The HYBRID is a Top Notch carp fly indeed.....
SpectreEelman Thanks for sharing that story, and glad to know others have had success with the pattern! TC
Tim Thanks for posting this video up. I'll be tying a few different variations of this and try them out. I tend to fish in rivers/creeks here in Central Texas. Hoping in the next couple of weeks to start fishing for carp, a local guide here in my area said in Mid February they start to spawn and when they do "Its on like Donkey Kong".
For the gentleman below asking about crawfish patterns. I tie something very similar to this but instead of using the chennile at the bend of the hook try putting a couple of silly legs in brown, rootbeer or even black.
Tight Lines!
+Felipe Dominguez Thanks for taking a moment to post, Felipe, and really great suggestions you made. It sounds like you do well with this, and I would love to see some of your variations. Thanks again, and good luck in February! Tim
Really great tying instructions! Subbing to your channel, and will be checking out your other videos. I’ve caught a few carp here in central Texas, and what a blast. I’m starting to target them and will definitely give this a try.🎣. Thanks a lot! Best wishes!
You got it, Charlie, and thanks for checking in. Shoot me an email and I'll share with you a sneaky tip for this pattern! ;-) tcammisa@gmail.com Mention the fly name in the email as a gentle reminder. Thanks again! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Good stuff as always
Thanks, Ryan; I appreciate it! Tim
Nice buggy looking pattern. Do you have any crayfish type patterns for carp you could share?
Thanks for the positive words, Jose; I appreciate the comment. I have a few patterns that can be used for carp; on the Trout and Feather website, look for the following:
1. Sculpin Bugger
2. Sculpzilla
3. CrawBody Crayfish
If you need more suggestions, feel free to contact me, and good luck! TC
Awesome fly and outstanding tutorial! I never tried this type of flies when fishing for carp, I usually use salmon eggs or "carpbolls" but I'll sure try this fly out this summer. For the salmoneggs I sometimes use an indicator when the water is a bit muddy. Do you fish this fly under an indicator when the water is a little bit muddy? Or do you always fish it on sight?
Thanks for the kind words, kingdorian , and everyone tends to fish it a bit different. There is noting wrong with fishing it under an indicator, as long as you feel you will notice the movement when a carp takes. Good luck with it, and let me know how it works for you. TC
Love your work. Getting off the subject can you tell me how you keep and organize all your dubbing? My collection keeps growing. I tried putting my dubbing in zip lock bags in a plastic box but it turns into a jumbled box before long. Can you help me or do a video on this topic?
Thanks, Gary; I appreciate the comments. Regarding my dubbing, I am working on a new system, but essentially, I separate the dry fly dubbing from that I use for nymphs into two containers. Within each container, I group them by material brand (such as Superfine dubbings together). I have also kept the two containers organized by color, but prefer the brands together. I definitely will look into making that into a video, and appreciate the idea. Thanks for the question, and I hope this helps! TC
Hey Tim Ive been interested in Fly Fishing for Carp this summer, do you think this Fly would work for the common Carp we have here? And how would you fish this? Would you swing it or just let it sit on the bottom? Carp dont seem aggressive when it comes to feeding, just wondering! Thanks sir!
Thanks for the comment, Chuck, and I absolutely believe this pattern would work. To answer your question about how to fish it...yes to both. Primarily, I would suggest casting in front of the fish and letting it sink, then twitching or letting it remain motionless. On another note, definitely check out the websites I have listed in the "Description" because there are a TON of tips there, plus the guy who runs the second site developed this pattern. Fly fishing for carp is tough for sure, but give it time and patience, and the results will be great. Good luck, and let me know how everything works out for you with this fly. Tim
What does this fly imitate? What is the long tail all about? Thanks. Been targeting carp but they not interested in anything I put in front of them.
Thanks for the comments, Brian, and this has been an effective pattern for many carp fly fishermen. It represents worms in silty areas, plus larvae that may be found on the bottom of lake beds. Beyond that, there are a few other possibilities, all of which depend on how you fish the pattern. Feel free to check-out John's blog (I provided a link to it in the description above) for more insight into this great pattern. TC
i bet that incomplete fly at 6:17 would work!
Ha ha...I think it would just be a San Juan Worm @ that point! TC
I think it's different. This one's got the weight at the front so the tail sticks up. It might actually be better. "Cammisa worm"
ttterence Now that's just funny! You definitely noticed it, thus the "Ttterence Worm" may be more appropriate. ;-)
So Tim if i get in to fly fishing where I fish for carp. Is a creek that also has large mouth, small mouth and crappie could I use this fly on those fish also or is this fly more soley for carp
Great question, Jester Karmick , and I think it depends on your retrieve. If you let this pattern sit in a slow-moving creek, then I don't believe you'll have as much success. However, due to its jigging motion, if you fish it on a slow to medium retrieve, you will catch other species. Thanks for taking time to comment. Tim
Jester Karmick I pull up an occasional catfish on this pattern. works best when fish are rooting in the mud
