Carp Tickler

Jan's Carp Tickler—a versatile fly designed to entice even the most discerning carp. With its subtle weighted eyes and slender profile, this fly delivers a delicate entry and swift descent to the bottom. Its vibrant neon tail provides excellent visibility, making it ideal for sight fishing in murky waters. To maximize its effectiveness, employ a twitch-and-pause retrieve, mimicking the movement of a distressed worm. Whether in chartreuse and orange for low-light conditions or red and orange for clear waters, this fly is sure to attract the attention of carp in any environment.

When using Jan's Carp Tickler, cast it ahead of a feeding carp and let it sink to the bottom. Employ a slow, deliberate retrieve with occasional pauses to allow the fly to settle, mimicking the behavior of natural prey. If the carp shows interest but doesn't take, try a longer pause to give them time to commit. The fly's understated action can be exactly what it takes to get a wary carp to bite.
