I tied up another pattern recently. This is my spin off of a successful carp pattern made by rainy's called the popcorn ball. I named my spin off fly carp candy. The popcorn ball is made with a krystal flash chenille material. With carp flies weight is important because the fly must be on the bottom where the carp is feeding for the most hook up success.
Changes---Added lead wire for extra weight, added a beadhead, used yellow egg yarn for the body instead of the krystal chenille.

I have a feeling this pattern will be "carp candy" and I plan on using it a lot on my hunts for carp on a fly.
