The Green Fly
About as simple as you get...kind of like the rest of the flies I tie. Basic green erstatz body, courtesy of the Roughfisher, and then green pheasant hackle. I use whatever beads I have sitting around and a very short shanked hook with a big gap in a two or four. I was using scud hooks, but I ran out. Honestly, tie some green crap on a hook, add hackle and a bead and throw it in front of a carp. I never pretended to be much of a tier. For that, check out Michael Gracie or the roughfisher. This ugly bugger works though.

even the old man can tie this fly!
about damn time we got a closeup of that badboy!
I've seen that fly in the mouth of a 20 lb mirror. I think.
Yep. That simple little thing has been uber-effective this season. That 23 I caught that trip was on the green fly too. The carp love that thing.
no kidding here, I have a fly that looks exactly the same sitting in one of my boxes that I tied a few years ago and never fished. Who knew I had the secret to carp fishing hiding under my nose all this time?
As soon as the chilly winds Abercrombie Polos initially start to blow every year as autumn sets in; people go to their closets Abercrombie Polos and pull out their sweaters dog coats and ed hardy Hats jackets to ensure that they are comfortable as the temperature drops. Your Ed Hardy Sale dog deserves this equal treatment so when you pull out yours, do Ed Hardy Sale remember to pull out your dog's warm dog clothes as well.If the night is chilly, but Ed Hardy Swimwear not quite freezing, even something as Ed Hardy Swimwear simple as a warm dog sweater will help you to keep your dog warm.
