Going ninja style. Because how else are you supposed to catch 2" creek chubs? It's amazing how small a size 22 hook is compared to a 16 and 18. #microfishing #flyfishing #flytying #flyfarming #artisanflies @loonoutdoors #fishingwithaconscience

Thinking spring and the white sucker run, feeding Fresh Princes to unsuspecting suckers. Still seems so far away. #carpfood #flytying #flyfarming #carponthefly #carppro #artisanflies

Larval fish like this alevin are good eats for foraging fish. High protein from the egg sac and low motility from the lack of development make for an easy meal. This version is anatomically correct with a body about an inch in length and weighted with a tungsten bead to keep the fly down in the gravel where sac fry hide and consume their egg sac until they are forced to venture out and forage on plankton. #carpfood #flytying #flyfarming #carponthefly #carppro #artisanflies #saclunch

Who knew that you could transform a Darth Clam into an alevin? Talk about ninja stealth. #carpfood #flytying #flyfarming #carponthefly #carppro #artisanflies

This version is au naturel: Darth Clam served up with nori. For folks desiring a more bold presentation, wasabi is optional. #carpfood #flytying #flyfarming #carponthefly #carppro #darthclam #artisanflies
