More than a month ago I got an email from Fly-Carpin inviting me to join in their annual carp fly swap. Honored to be included with many of the biggest names in carp fly fishing, I obviously said yes.
Last time I tied up a big batch of my jumbo Bunny Craws and sent them off. While I knew the fly would be too big for many of the carp destinations where they would end up, I wanted others to see the size and style of flies we’re using here.
This year I wanted to send something that most of the other people could use and maybe even catch a carp with. My choice was the Quick Craw, a fly that fits the standards of a classic carp pattern.
My daughter was nice enough to arrange the “marching army of craws” for the picture.
