FLYMPH FORUM

...

WOW! What a buggy looking fly. I definitely need some of these in my steelhead box.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Great looking "hopper" and wearing it Halloween costume as well .

Is the Black bead reversed on purpose? Nice effect ...

Hank,

Thanks. Someone else mentioned that about the bead (I hadn't noticed it). I went back and checked the others in the bag and they were all drilled with the same-sized hole on both sides; not sure if it was intentional or a defective batch.

Regards,
Scott

I tend to reverse the beadhead when I tye Skip Morris's "Racoon" pattern. It pushes the bead forward slightly and I like the look. Not sure if it changes how the fly behaves, but I still do this intentionally.

ScottP, Howdy;

Thanks for the reply, "poo occurs" as 2 & 4 used to say. Whatever, it looks good all the same
