The Biscuit Fly is tied using a short or medium shank hook. It either uses spun deer hair (like in the picture), or closed-cell foam, which is cut into a rounded or oblong shape to imitate a piece of biscuit. A simple but effective fly.
The Biscuit Fly is a unique pattern, designed to imitate a piece of biscuit rather than a specific insect or aquatic organism. This fly is especially during warm months when carp are actively feeding. It's even more effective where carp are used to getting fed with all kinds of things (cookies, bread, popcorn...) like in city parks.
The Biscuit Fly is primarily used in water types and locations where carp are commonly found, such as lakes, ponds, slow-moving rivers, and canals. It is particularly effective during warm months when carp are more active and more likely to be found near the surface or cruising just below the surface, searching for food. To fish the Biscuit Fly most effective our tip is: just leave it. It's incredibly difficult to not want to twitch it a little when a carp is slowly approaching, but it's best to hold until they suck it in.

You always buy from one fly tyer at a time
When you add a fly or set to your cart, you buy from the fly tyer who tied it. Add as many flies as you like from this fly tyer.
You can not add flies from multiple tyers, because else you would have to pay shipping cost for each one, making your shipping cost very high.
Estimated delivery time is shown in the shopping cart
Some sets and flies can be in stock, others might be tied to order. The item that takes the longest will determine the total time your order will take.
The estimated time your order will take is always shown in the shopping cart before you check out.
