Carp Stalker's Sinking Mulberry
When Mulberries start falling from the trees into our waterways, Carp put their guard down and feast on their favorite food - Mulberries! Hands down, the easiest way to catch a carp on the fly is by throwing mulberry flies to them while they are gorging themselves under a mulberry tree, trust me they love Mulberries ! If you know of any mulberry trees that hang over a creek, river bank, pond or lake, carp will be there to feed on the falling berries, this occurs every year normally in late May or early June in Indiana. Carp will feed on this fly months after the mulberries have stopped dropping too, their sweet tooth still kicks in ! Tied on #4 short shank wide gap hooks. This fly hits the water softly and then slowly sinks just like a ripe mulberry would. If the fish are afraid to feed off the top, choose this version. These are sure to fool any carp feeding under a mulberry tree without spooking them, I've even added a green tail to mimic a green stem. Grass Carp absolutely love this fly as well!
