Description

Pete's Carpet Bug, developed by fly designer Pete Shanafelt, is a highly effective sowbug imitation that has gained popularity among anglers targeting trout in tailwater rivers and spring creeks. This pattern is a variation of the classic Ray Charles fly, with modifications that enhance its effectiveness.

Pro Tip

Add a small Mayfly emerger pattern in contrasting color as your top fly. It really works well.
