Overview

A true streamer legend, the Umpqua Circus Peanut in White is an aggressive pattern built to trigger predatory strikes from large trout, bass, and even warmwater species. Originally designed by Russ Maddin, the Circus Peanut changed the game by combining movement, bulk, and a two-hook articulated design that offers unmatched swimming action. The white version of this fly stands out in low-light conditions, off-colored water, or when fish are keying in on lighter baitfish, sculpins, or even small stockers. With lead eyes for a quick sink and dual hooks to increase hookups, this fly means business.

The articulated body gives the Circus Peanut an erratic, lifelike motion that mimics injured baitfish perfectly. Two heavily dubbed bodies paired with flowing rubber legs and marabou tails bring a deadly combination of flash and realism. Whether you’re stripping it through deep pools or swinging it across current seams, the Circus Peanut in white gets attention fast. It's a must-have for anglers targeting meat-eaters in rivers and lakes, especially when you want to provoke a reaction strike. This pattern doesn’t ask nicely—it demands a chase.Read More +
