Egan's Headstand - Umpqua Fly
Details
Designed specifically for sight fishing to Carp. Featuring an inverted "stand up" easy to see silhouette. Buggy eyes that add weight and invert the hook, ensuring an upper lip hook–up every time, and sexy legs for stability and motion. Available in two tantalizing colors: Rusty orange, for a nymphy, crawfish look, or Chartreuse, for the "attractor" murky water option. Think of it as the Royal Wulff of Carp flies.
