About me...
a little about me...
I love everything about hunting carp on the fly. I love that my adrenaline races when a fish turns on my fly. I love the challenge, the hunt, the refusal, the missed takes, the frustration, the mental beatdowns, and most importantly...the golden spoils. I didn’t see this coming, to be a fully grown man, and find something to cause physical change is amazing.
I didn’t start tying fłies because I couldn’t find what I wanted, I started tying flies because of the control it offered. 😂. I spent time tying and testing flip times, sink rates, and how to reduce splash. I didn’t know what kind of carp bugs I had a preference for at first, but then settled in on a few confidence patterns. Backstabbers and Egan’s Headstands were paramount in my development of fly design. Both patterns were above all, versatile; aside from the track record they already had. My bugs will usually start on the versatility design path, with variants following for specific situations.
