Carp Worm - Catches more than Carp! - McFly Angler Fly Tying Instructions

Carp are a tough fish to fish for. However, they are really rewarding when you finally hook into one. They pull like a freight train, and are challenging to even hook. Many times you have to go with lighter line, and small flies, which makes it tough to bring them in.

Here is a fly that is tied to swim hook point up. You are going to be fishing carp on the bottom for the majority of the time, so this fly needs to be somewhat weedless. Being hook point up really helps with that. Last time I went out fishing for carp though, I ended up hooking into a really nice brown trout, on this pattern. So it obviously will work on more than just carp. Below is a list of materials, and below that is a step by step on how to tie this fly.

Materials:

Tying Instructions:
Step 1 - Put the bead onto your hook
Step 2 - Start your thread right behind the bead
Step 3 - Measure out your chenille to 3 times the length of the hook
Step 4 - Tie in your chenille right behind the bead, and on top of the hook shank, and down deep into the bend of the hook
Step 5 - Tie in another piece of chenille on top of the hook shank, tying it back to where you tied down the other piece of chenille
Step 6 - Make touching wraps up the hook shank with your chenille stopping a bead length shy of the bead.
Step 7 - Make a dubbing loop with your thread
Step 8 - Pull off the fibers of the marabou feather
Step 8 - Place those fibers in the dubbing loop, so the tips extend out to just past the length of the hook.
Step 9 - Spin up your dubbing loop
Step 10 - Wrap your marabou hackle around the hook shank, pulling all the fibers rearward with every wrap
Step 11 - Whip finish your fly.
Step 12 - Add a drop of head cement to keep the whip finish in place
Step 13 - Burn the end of the chenille with a lighter to give it a taper

Even your tropical fish chased that worm! Thanks for sharing, All the best, Sean

Nicely done, a lot of different fish would hit that. I've gone off the deep end this week and I have been building my own dynamic custom dubbing brushes. Thanks.

I will tie up a few worms and try them. Thanks for sharing

Looks great for panfish and small bass! It also seems like a good stocked trout and brook trout fly! Different sizes will probably catch different types of fish, great fly. I suggest putting on another strand of worm material to make it look like their is two worms kind of like how a crayfish has two claws.

I think if your aquarium fish were big enough they would have taken it! No doubt. They were chasing.

Does the fly ride hook up? I've been thinking about getting some 60* jig hooks and slotted beads to tie some nymphs similar to balanced leeches to fish in Stillwater under an indicator

How much does it cost you to run the channel and but materials per-month? Just want to bring some awareness to your needs. I would be sad to see you go but understand if you do. I wonder if each subscriber gave at least $1 a month, how much of a difference would it make?
