They are to target Carp, but I think several of them are multi taskers.
The corn cluster is interesting to me cause Utah outlawed the use of corn many years ago, so I hope the Carp recognize it hehehehehehe.
Idaho on the other hand, I think it will kick "A" up there.

[#000080]Here is a bit of irony for you.. on the local lakes (and I am guessing CA in general).. we cannot use kernels of corn to fish with.. but.. we are able to use corn scented "gulp" products without a problem... [/#000080]

[#000080]I am betting the carp with reactivate their memory once they see your corn floating in the water.. :-)[/#000080]

I am assuming it is a taste thing they like. Corn was outlawed because the fish can fully digest it, but it is legal and use alot in Idaho.
This fly doesn't appear to be to hard to tie, maybe the part of getting then to stick out like she does, but not sure how important that would be. Have to give it a try and send you some.

I talked to him Saturday at the Expo. He felt pretty good about the selection he sent you so keep in touch about them.
I wished I tied more, then you wouldn't need to seek outside sources he, he, he, he.

I figured out how to make the Corn Cluster and I got one with your name all over it so pm me an abby and I will shoot it up to you.
I don't have the time to get up to the river as much as I would like but, I will....oh yes, I will.
Hey! Nice score on the Carpage!
