Bob, with the Bench swap winding up here in a few weeks and my Bead Swap flies coming along, ( If I can just decide which pattern to send), I would take the Challenge and host a "Carp Fly" swap if there is interest.
"What say the Group" ?? Jimi Didn't see the earlier post Deb, if you can make them hollow the would work. One of the problems with fly fishing for carp is the fact that they use all of their senses when feeding. Sight, sound, & taste. Remember the all tackle world record carp was taken on a minnow! I have caught them on all methods. In my not so humble opinion they are one of the most under rated gamefish in this country. I have been given thought to host a carp fly swap but given my current work, & class sechdule I can't. I would be able to tye in one if someone else hosts.
