Wakame Salad

The Wakame Salad carp fly, created by Daryl Eakins of Nervous Water Flies, is a unique pattern designed to mimic the debris and vegetation that carp often feed on. Its name is inspired by the Japanese seaweed salad, reflecting the fly’s natural, organic appearance that resembles floating plant material or food debris in still waters. The fly incorporates synthetic fibers that float on the surface and sink slowly, giving it a lifelike presentation when stripped or allowed to drift naturally.

It won't sink upon the first cast. Capitalize on this feature by working it as a dry fly for cruisers or cloopers. Alternatively, for a submerged approach, soak it thoroughly before casting and let the magic unfold.
