Most of the time flies are bright or colorful, they have nice structure and look appealing to the eye. I love tying Pheasant Tail Nymphs, Soft Hackles, BWO, Hoppers, Lefty's Deceiver and really endless amounts variations of each. But, recently I have been toying around with other flies, ugly ones to be exact. Flies that curdle your stomach, make you want to hide your children, and bring the dog in. I am speaking of the Carp Fly.
I have a long standing belief that carp flies should be ugly, simple, but hideous. So I went about tying some new patterns last week and here are a few that I came up with.

That last one is crazy, cool looking! Looks like a Muppet fly. Nice!
