由 Dawn patrol Bread Fly
This ingenious fly mimics a floating piece of bread—a common food source in urban waterways.
How It’s Tied
The Bread Fly is typically tied on a wide-gap hook to match the size of bread pieces found in urban waters. The body is crafted from buoyant materials like white or cream-colored deer hair or foam, ensuring it floats realistically.
The material is spun or tied onto the hook and trimmed into a bread-like shape. Success hinges on color and texture accuracy—the fly must closely resemble real bread to fool fish.
What It Mimics
This fly replicates bread, a frequent food source for fish in urban and suburban waters. Though unconventional, it excels in areas where fish are accustomed to bread tossed in by park visitors or picnickers.
Where It’s Used
The Bread Fly shines in urban and suburban settings like park ponds and canals, where fish are habituated to human activity and bread. Carp, in particular, readily strike this pattern.
