Head Stand Evening Star

Inspired by the late Jack Gartside (1942-2009) pattern the "Evening Star", a variation he tied of his famous fly the "Sparrow". For more info http://www.jackgartside.com/step_gartside_sparrow.htm I tied this to sight fish for spooky Carp late season in low, clear water with a very rocky bottom. I used the smallest bead and chain eyes I could to minimize splash down, but still guarantee the fly would settle hook point up. Size the hook, chain eyes and bead to fit your needs.
