1. Carp Maul: This pattern requires 2 materials ancd can be tied in a few minutes. This fly has connected with more fish and bigger fish than any pattern on this list for those fishing our of Carp On The Fly Productoins.

2. Hybrid: This pattern is the most popular carp fly available and has been catching carpfor a long time. It is still a must have in the fly box.

3. Backstabber: This patttern, like many on this list is derrived from the incredibly efective bonefish fly the Crazy Charlie. It is a simple tie, reides hook point up, and moves along the bottom without easily hanging up.

4. Crazy Charlie: This pattern has been catchig bonefish for 50 years and is a also a great carp fly. Tie or purchase this fly in Rust, Olive, Brown and especially Black.

5. Carp Charlie: If you are seeing a theme here it is because the Crazy Charlie and its many variants make a nearly perfect platfrom for carp flies. This variant is tied with grizzly feathers and is great at attracting hungry carp.

6. Headstand: This fly, like the hybraid, is designed to sit on the bottom with the tail pointing up providing an enticing looking meal for a slowly cruising carp. It also works well for tailing carp using the drag and drop.

7. Clouser Swimming Nymph: Depending on how this fly it tied it can be fished like the hybrid or used to try and entice carp suspended or cruising near the surface. It is a great imitation of damsel flies, which are a carp favorite in the spring and summer.
