Headstand Carp Pattern
The Headstand is one of the most effective carp patterns available. Classified as one of the hardest fish to catch, carp are selective and require a fly that they cannot resist.
This pattern is specifically designed to reach the depths where carp like to lurk, increasing the chances of a successful catch.
Bead-chain eyes ensure the fly remains point-up, reducing the risk of snags and improving hook-ups during fishing.

David Mathis –
Used the Headstand in a quiet pond during early autumn. The fly stayed upright and didn’t snag on reeds. Caught a large carp after 30 minutes of casting. Very effective in the right conditions.
Felicity Mathis –
Fished in a shallow reservoir with mixed vegetation. The bead-chain eyes kept the fly pointing up, which helped avoid tangles. Got a few bites, though not a big catch. Still worth the try.

This pattern worked perfectly in a slow-moving lake. The carp were active at midday, and the fly stayed in place without getting caught on weeds. Highly recommended for serious carp anglers.
