A vibrant, high-profile fly pattern designed to grab the attention of diverse fish species.
How It’s Tied
The Carnage Attractor is typically tied on a size 6 to 14 hook, featuring a bright, multi-colored body and flashy wing material. The body is built with vibrant dubbing, segmented with wire or floss, and topped with a high-visibility post. The wing incorporates synthetic materials like Flashabou or Krystal Flash for added sparkle and movement.
A parachute-style hackle wraps around the post, enhancing floatation and creating an enticing fluttering action. Despite its intricate look, this pattern is highly adaptable, allowing for creative material and color combinations.
What It Mimics
Unlike traditional flies, the Carnage Attractor doesn’t imitate a specific insect or prey. Instead, its bold colors and lively action provoke aggressive strikes by standing out in the water.
Where It’s Used
This fly excels in stained or turbulent waters where subtle patterns fail. Effective in both streams and lakes, it targets species like trout and bass. Whether in fast currents or calm waters, the Carnage Attractor ensures visibility and strikes.
