Carp Chew Toy

Here is a carp fly I came up with using Chewee Skin.  It is pretty cool stuff and works anytime you want a nice segmented body.  I tied up a bunch of bonefish flies using it and have seen stonefly patterns incorporating it to.  This fly is tied on a heavy, curved scud hook with bead chain eyes so it's tail rides up in the water. The idea comes from Lance Egan's headstand carp fly and that dude crushes on carp.
