Snowbee Carp & Coarse Barbless Fly Selection a five-fly carp fly fishing flies pack designed for targeting carp and other coarse fish on fly tackle, particularly on stillwaters and commercial carp venues where a static or very slow presentation can be highly effective.

The Snowbee Carp & Coarse selection contains five barbless carp flies chosen for fly anglers looking to catch carp and coarse fish using familiar fly fishing methods. The pack includes Biscuit, Biscuit, Beadless Biscuit, FAB 1 and FAB 2 patterns, giving you a focused selection for surface and subsurface presentation.
Catching coarse fish on the fly has become increasingly popular, especially on stillwaters where carp can be stalked around margins, islands, weed edges and feeding areas. Snowbee’s advice from Simon Kidd notes that this selection has been tried and tested on carp venues around the country and has accounted for trophy fish. The flies are ideal when fished static with fine tippet, either sunken or on the surface.
This is a useful choice for anglers who already fly fish for trout and want a practical route into carp and coarse fishing without overcomplicating the setup. It suits beginners trying carp on the fly for the first time, but also experienced anglers who want a compact, ready-made selection for stalking fish in warmer conditions. Available from troutcatchers, the previous version was a top selling 5 star hit!

Snowbee Carp & Coarse Barbless Fly Selection top tips

  • Use a floating line when presenting biscuit-style flies on or close to the surface.
  • Get Carp feeding on dog biscuits / bread then cast.
  • Keep movement minimal. Carp often respond better to a static fly than one constantly stripped back.
  • Use as fine a tippet as conditions sensibly allow, but do not under-tackle powerful carp around weed, snags or platforms - They get very big and fight!
  • Watch the fly carefully. Takes can be confident, but they can also be slow and subtle.
  • When fishing subsurface, allow the fly to settle naturally before making any movement.
  • Try margin stalking in warm weather, especially where carp are cruising or feeding close in.
  • Avoid striking too early. Let the fish properly take the fly before lifting firmly into it.
  • Use polarised sunglasses for stalking.
  • Check fishery rules before use, especially around barbless hooks, fly-only restrictions and surface-feeding policies.

Snowbee Carp & Coarse Barbless Fly Selection Ideal Fishing Conditions

  • Commercial carp stillwaters where fly fishing is permitted
  • Small stillwaters, ponds and coarse venues holding visible carp
  • Summer surface fishing when carp are feeding confidently
  • Margin stalking around reeds, lilies, weed beds and platforms
  • Clear-water situations where fish can be targeted individually
  • Calm or lightly rippled water where a static presentation is easier to control
  • Subsurface fishing with a slow, patient approach
  • Carp, and potentially other coarse species, where fly presentation is allowed
  • Barbless hook venues and catch-and-release waters
  • Best matched with floating line tactics rather than fast-sinking or streamer-style methods
FAQ – Snowbee Carp & Coarse Barbless Fly Selection

Is the Snowbee Carp & Coarse Barbless Fly Selection suitable for beginners?
Yes. It is a good starting point for anglers who already understand basic fly casting and want to try carp or coarse fish on the fly. The key is presentation: fish these flies slowly, often static, rather than constantly retrieving them.

What flies are included in the Snowbee SF145 Carp & Coarse selection?
The pack contains five flies: Biscuit, Biscuit, Beadless Biscuit, FAB 1 and FAB 2. The packaging lists these patterns as part of the Carp & Coarse Barbless selection.

Are these flies barbless?
Yes. This is the barbless version, making it suitable for many catch-and-release venues and fisheries that require barbless hooks.

Can these flies be fished on the surface?
Yes, Snowbee’s fishing advice states that the selection is ideal fished static with fine tippet, either sunken or on the surface. Biscuit-style patterns are especially useful when carp are feeding high in the water.

What line should I use with this selection?
A floating fly line is the most useful starting point, especially for surface and margin work. Depending on the venue and depth, you may also adapt leader length and tippet choice for subsurface presentation.

Is this only for carp?
It is primarily designed for carp and coarse fish. Carp are the main target, but other coarse species may also respond where fly fishing is allowed and the presentation suits the feeding conditions.
