well i got some glow in the dark thread at Jo-Ann fabrics on just a lark and i tried to tie a firefly with it. its my first try at doing any type of beetle so it really sucks, but i think the pattern has some merit if i learn how to tie it properly. and its BUTT DOES GLOW, which is probably the coolest part. and I do cast quite a bit at night.

That fly will fish! Looks ok to me. Nice touch using the glow in the dark stuff. I agree with Justin, try some foam in place of the deer hair. It is a bit easier to work with and they float a bit better IMHO.

 

Good Job!

thanks guys. i will probably try and tie a few more in this style until at least get the hang of how to do it properly and then maybe pick up some foam this weekend and try that.

I just got done tying some Steeve's Floating Fireflys for a swap, never thought about glow-in-the-dark stuff.

Great idea. Those will catch some fish. Good job!
