Third Coast Fly

A few weeks ago Lonny from Colorado emailed about a Beaver Island carp trip, which he ultimately booked for July. In the email exchange he mentioned that he was doing this cool carp fly swap at the Fly-Carpin blog. Kevin checked it out and it did look cool with some big names and friends like Will Rice, Jean-Paul Lipton, John Montana, and Barry Reynolds involved (the carperati?). A few emails later and Kevin was invited to the party.

And check out this cool post over on Fly-Carpin’ about Morlock’s Bunny Craw.

Here is a quick look at our hottest flies from the past few weeks. The Beast Bait is a favorite from last season but the other four are new for this year. You may remember the Tailer Teaser from last week.

The other three flies are the Ninja Craw, Carp Squid and the Voodoo Hex. The Voodoo Hex is for breaking a bad bite curse. We’ll follow up with tying photos and recipes in the next few weeks. If this group has a theme it is that we have been focusing on tailing fish and thus need to get the flies down quickly but they still need to have enough bulk and action to attract attention.
