UPDATED - now another fly head shape with a rounder head and larger eye holes.  Base head part for building your own trolling flys, sometimes called umbrella flys. Picture should make it clear.

I also added a simple printable/resizable glue-on eye - these look 3D in the water and you can make the base one color and the pupil a different color with a color change.  Get your bed adhesion skills up to par and print a dozen or more eyes at a time.

The eye size for the smaller fly head is 5.5 or 6mm - depending on whether you use the sizer to shrink/grow the eye spots.   The larger head has 9.5mm eye spots.

Print in PETG or ABS.  PLA will melt in the sun on a hot day.   Stand on the “back” end (as opposed to the nose end) and add a brim.  Print at high resolution - such as .1mm or .15 quality.

Stick on 5.5mm or 6mm eyes can be had most anywhere (ebay, amazon, etc).  Or model your own 3D eyes!
