This fly is very simple to tie. You just pop a suitable gold
bead on and take to the eye and build a tapered body up from the
bend. Different thicknesses of body can be tried. The fly can also
be tied without the bead to enable it to flutter down to fishing
depth. Fishing Method: The fly is best fished with a
sight indicator of a size that will not be pulled under by the
fly. Vary depth according to feeding depth of fish but we
generally start at about 4' and if no takes come we try different
depths to about 10'. We prefer calm conditions but rarely get
them and we generally fish static or let the breeze just move the
fly. However many anglers have great success by always retrieving
steadily using the figure-of-eight method. Watch the indicator
like a hawk as takes are often lightning fast, as are rejections
when they feel the hard bead. The version without the gold head
tends to lead to slow positive takes but bites are generally
slower in coming. Experiment on the day. Our favourite and the
trout's colour is shocking pink, although hot orange does nearly
as well. It's worth tying in olive and black as well, as again we
catch on these colours. Forget what you might think about pink.
Just try it! and you should be very pleasantly surprised. Back
