Fly Tying Skill Builder #66
If you target carp or other incredibly spooky fish, you know that presentation is everything. You need your fly to ride hook-point up, but if you add too much weight, the fly plummets to the bottom like a rock and spooks every fish in the zip code. So, how do you get a fly to turn over naturally and slowly?
In Fly Tying Skill Builder 66, Umpqua Signature Tyer Daryl Eakins (nervous_water_flies) shares his methods for tying the ultimate carp flies. He breaks down his innovative "Lift Kit" and "Tail Drag" techniques, two subtle adjustments you can make on the vise that force your fly to flip perfectly every single time.
