The RIO’s Beard Louse is considered the quintessential carp fly, though it’s also effective for other warmwater species. Its key design feature is a weighted structure that forces the fly to land with the hook point kicked upthe perfect orientation to be sucked in by bottom-feeding carp. The fly’s buggy profile, complete with a rabbit tail and enticing rubber legs, imitates the aquatic insects and crustaceans carp feed on.
