Description
The Carp Breakfast, created by Kevin Morlock, is a highly regarded fly pattern known for its exceptional movement and weight, making it a favorite for sight fishing to carp. This fly is specifically designed to sink quickly to the depths where carp often feed, allowing it to reach the fish's feeding zone with minimal effort. The fly’s unique design, combining weighted materials with an attractive profile, ensures it has the ability to mimic various prey items, making it versatile for carp fishing in a range of environments. Its ability to reach the bottom quickly is particularly effective in deeper waters or in situations where carp are feeding on bottom-dwelling organisms like crustaceans and worms.
Pro Tip
Cast ahead of feed carp. Let it sink and DO NOT MOVE. Let the Carp come to the fly!

Recipe
Hook: Size 4, strong carp hook – This hook provides strength to handle the large carp and ensures a secure hook-up during the fight. Thread: Tan or brown UTC 70 – This fine thread blends well with the natural colors of the fly and provides a solid foundation for attaching materials. Weight: Lead or lead-free wire wrapped around the hook shank – Provides the necessary weight to allow the fly to sink quickly and reach the depths where carp are feeding. Body: Olive or brown dubbing – Forms a realistic, natural body that mimics the appearance of various prey species. The color can be adjusted based on water clarity and carp feeding habits. Tail: Marabou or rabbit strip – Soft and lightweight, these materials create lifelike movement in the water, mimicking small aquatic creatures. Collar: Soft, webby hackle or dubbing – A small, wispy collar at the head of the fly adds a bit of bulk and movement, enticing carp to bite as the fly drifts or is stripped across the bottom.
