I'm not sure how well they would fish, but I know that Dave and Max have thrown a few and caught a few browns out of the bow. If I was going to fish this one, I'd tie up a tandem on shorter shanks for sure. Carrie herself landed some really nice landlocked Salmon and large lake dwelling Brookies.
I'm still trying to get a Carrie original, but I'm not prepared to dish out 300$ + for a fly just yet. lol
