Latergrams - Week 15

Some slop fresh off the vise. I'm sure the carp won't really mind if it's purdy or not. #carpfood #flytying #flyfishing #carponthefly #carppro #artisanflies

If I could just get my hands on that box I could do some serious damage! @rossreels has a box of their finest on display with the @flyfishingfilmtour. There are definitely some heavy hitters in there like the F1 and Momentum. I know because I own several of them. #rossreels #flyfishing #flyfishingfilmtour #F3T

Shout out to my boys Ben and @zachjanssen of @the_midwest_drift who made the 6 hour drive from KC to represent at Iron Fly MSP. These are the faces of fly carping's future. #carponthefly #ironfly #flytying #flyfarming #flyfishingsaveslives

The Midwest Drift 2015 Carp Swap

The Midwest Drift graciously agreed to take over the reigns of the world's best carp fly swap after Mctage from Fly-Carpin handed over his labor of love this spring. Organzing a swap of this magnitude, actually more of a vector since the swap possesses both direction and magnitude, takes serious effort and time commitment. So a big tip of the hat to the TMD crew!


Check out all of the photos and recipes from the fly swap, and even a few step by step tutorials. The Come at Me Craw is featured here.
