If you want, you can pm me and I can list materials and steps for a fly you like..

I have never followed a pattern 100% or even 80%.. gotta put your own flare into a fly to make it unique to you!

Here are a few micro nymphs, little attractor nymphs. These are tied on standard nymph hooks, 18-20.

I tied up these beadhead olive variations. My mom had a whole bunch of beads so I took some and added them to the head. The baby blue, yellow, and orange work really well. The whitefish love these guys so I named them whitefish candy. Lately the trout have been keying in on them. I really like the micros above as well.

The Seabass Slayer

Seabass love this one, I noticed when I was out in a dinky little plastic Crawdader boat the other day while night fishing Newport, there were a bunch of 2-3'' baitfish swimming along the surface, I scooped two out, the longer one had some silver color to it, and I could see straight through the smaller one like glass. This fly was designed to match the baitfish hatch, it weighs about 1/16 oz and it's about 2 1/8 inches long.

'Smurf-stone's inspired and based on the pattern by John Smeraglio (sp. ?) from "The Deschutes River Fly Shop" in maupin.

fun with glass beads. . .

fun with glass beads. . .

About 10 years ago I got a tube of beads from a bead shop on Hawthorn, I was after the small translucent green ones but, the beads were kinda mixed up so the whole tube ( around 1000 ? ) was $1.95. One of the greatest spur of the moment purchases I've ever made. . . . .

Here's some of the beads:



I use 'em for both heads:

PT:


rockworm:



and bodies:

caddis:


emerger:



Super cheap, easy to tie with, and the trout love 'em. . .

I've read about light diffusion a bit, all I know for sure is if I drop one of
these little beads on the carpet and hit it with a flashlight it lights up like
a beacon. . . I can only imagine what the fish see.

Jimmy,

Those smurf stones look very buggy. Those bead variations look awesome. Those are some good ideas. I try to make bead body flies but they never look right to me. I really like experimenting and fishing with different beads. Craft store treasures are on every aisle for the adventurous tyer.
