Jamie's Krazy Carper

The Fly Carp Just Can't Resist

A nice Krazy Carper caught carp
Jamie's Krazy Carper
The Jamie’s Krazy Carper, was developed by avid carp fly fisherman Jamie Kaminski, and is quickly gaining
a reputation throughout the fly fishing world as a very productive carp fly. It is a fairly simple pattern to tie,
and can be made in many different color variations. It may not be the prettiest of flies, but neither are the
carp that love it [now that's not true--they are real beauties]. The rabbit strip tail seems to add a life like
appearance that carp can’t resist, with a soft and chewy texture that they will not let go. Fish it very slowly in
the shallows along the bottom where carp frequent. Cast it just past the 'cone area [a 45% cone starting with
the pointed end at the carp's mouth] a few feet in front of the tailing [in shallow water you will see their tails
sticking up out of the water while they turn down to feed on the bottom] carp and just drag it slowly into the
'cone'. The Crazy Karper is also great for smallmouth bass and panfish.
Last spring on a little bay in Lake St. Clair, while trying to connect with the hundreds of feeding, tailing carp
present, I couldn't keep the 18" smallmouth bass from running in and stealing my Krazy Carper. I stopped
counting how many smallies I caught that day while trying to connect with a carp. Now I realize that isn't
really something to complain about.
