fanslerfisher 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2006 I tied these flies, Bead Head Pheasant Tails, and was wondering if they were good enough to enter in a swap. If not, could someone give me some suggestions on how to improve so I can swap them. Thanks, Fanslerfisher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just be careful not to get addicted to swaps; I've lost my truck, my job, my dog.......just kidding. :hyst: Swaps are a great way to improve your skills, so have at it.

Alex C. 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2006 Nice job! Those are actually "thorax-bead nymphs" For a bead-head you'd have the bead tied in so it's butted right against the eye of the hook. I actually like tying the bead in at the thorax better than at the head. For some reason it seems like I catch more fish with it there, although it's probably all in my head Keep up the great work :headbang: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyboyutah 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2006 They look very good . And as my buddy would say, (as I asked him when I first started tying) was they"ll catch fish . And I found that the more I tie and try new patterns , the more I go and practice on the water . For I fish for the relaxing and fun part.
