Description
The Detroit Mop City (DMC) is a versatile and unique fly pattern, created by Daryl Eakins of Nervous Water Flies, designed to target species like carp and bass. This fly’s innovative design features a tapered and curved tail, along with a breathing thorax, making it a lifelike imitation of aquatic larvae or grubs. Its materials, including feathers and dubbing for the collar and wing, combine to create a natural profile that is irresistible to bottom-feeding fish. The DMC is especially effective in still waters, where fish often root through the bottom for food.
Pro Tip
One of my favorite carp flies. this fly flat out catches CARP!
Casting with a drag and drop finish will yield results!
