An olive variant of Mike’s fuzzy niblet on a size 6 Gamakatsu Bonefish hook. This is a Mike Schmidt pattern that is a very productive carp fly, particularly for ultra spooky fish. The original pattern is more of a tan color and uses tan ice dub in front of the bead chain eyes. A number of years ago we had a carp fly swap here on PAFF. One of the tyers tied this pattern for the swap and that’s how I learned about it. I liked it and tied up a few more of them and the carp just flat out ate ‘em! I left every one of them I had in box hanging in the mouth of a carp that summer. For some reason I never tied anymore of them and kind of forgot about the pattern over the years. I recently bumped into an old video of Tom Rosenbaugh and Tim Flagler tying it in one of their tie offs and it jogged my memory about the fly. I’ll have a few of them in my carp box for sure next Carpin’ season.

Size 14 gold ribbed hare’s ear soft hackle. Simple but very effective pattern.

What is the hackle?

It’s Hungarian partridge. It’s definitely long for the 14 hook but I’ve been leaning a bit more toward the longer hackle side lately and I’m really liking it.

Beautiful! Did you strip one side before tying it in?
