Description

The Carp Bug, designed by Andrew Spinato, is a versatile nymph pattern that effectively imitates various aquatic prey such as dragonfly nymphs and leeches, making it particularly effective for carp fishing. Its design is reminiscent of a Clouser Swimming Nymph, featuring a rabbit fur tail and a soft hackle collar, which provide lifelike movement in the water

Pro Tip

Offset your dumbbell or beadchain eyes by 1–2 degrees.The fly lands slightly off-axis, creating a subtle wobble on descent that triggers inspection instead of spooking.
