In this fly tying video, Justin shows us how to tie up a carp fly creation of his own, the Spillway Secret.
If you’ve ever fly fished for carp, you know how difficult it can be. It’s almost like winning the lottery, except if you know what you’re doing, you’re chances of connecting go up. And having the right fly bumps up your chance of connecting.

I tie a similar fly in pink. Seems to do pretty good on carp when I find them feeding over flats.
