Nobody. Its a personal choice go with your feelings on that one. I will say a friend has experimented and anything oil based hoses your fly.testflycarpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01438987908906957352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843098604080162796.post-12061896474127981412012-04-10T20:04:12.688-07:002012-04-10T20:04:12.688-07:00They turn away from bread flies after a while, wei...They turn away from bread flies after a while, weird, as when they are first on them it's carp easy. I would and do insure they soak up water, perhaps dunk them in algea and clean them off, but scenting them would. as you say, be probably frowned upon. McFlyfoam doesn't work with my method, but you can probably tie a reqular glo bug, I can't, thus the way I do tie eggs. Eggs work with my regular dirty water, unseen fish, and relative imobility. <br /><br />GreggGregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623587945737239141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843098604080162796.post-2090251985593974292012-04-10T19:56:28.353-07:002012-04-10T19:56:28.353-07:00Has anyone ever thought of putting some type of sc...Has anyone ever thought of putting some type of scent on the eggs? I know many people put glue on their eggs but I have seen many carp come up and turn away. It seems the smell is turning them off. Perhaps a quick dip in some smelly solution to hide the human and glue scent? Or is this frowned upon? <br /><br />LonnyLonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03932816953091743540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843098604080162796.post-26118211000187017482012-04-10T19:53:05.352-07:002012-04-10T19:53:05.352-07:00So far this season its the only fly I have had suc...So far this season its the only fly I have had success with.

My old original favorite was on a #10 hook, and I thought of Ty with that size. Those things just work for me. And it's cool to see Pond C fish as tough as they are. Carp aren't trout, even when they are carp easy.<br /><br />GreggGregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623587945737239141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843098604080162796.post-15902445390937574012012-04-09T21:21:12.562-07:002012-04-09T21:21:12.562-07:00Gregg has been pushing to make us all question the...Gregg has been pushing to make us all question the status-quo. Not sure these will become my goto but they are defenitely another arrow in the quiver. I was thinking about your fishing conditions every take I got. They soak up water and actually sink really fast for thier size. In the size Gregg provided (almost quarter sized)they land a little heavy but I am thinking that in smaller sizes they might be prime super-shallow carp flies.testflycarpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01438987908906957352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843098604080162796.post-70703870883271165392012-04-09T21:17:08.036-07:002012-04-09T21:17:08.036-07:00Gr-eggs.
