CTBUGGER 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2007 Well now that i have the dog hair thing answered, I have another question, has anyone tied beadhead woven flies and if there are any certain colors i should use? I tie woven nymphs all the time, but never tried with beadheads, thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WYKnot 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2007 A little bit different than perhaps what you are asking...but I tie a midge pupae pattern that has a thread underbody, 3-4 spiral wraps of flashy rib material, and a woven overbody of clear monofilament thread. The clear woven overbody gives the a translucent glow to the fly underwater. I tied with glass beads and metal (brass, tungsten) beads depending upon hook size and intended destination. In this case, I've used cream thread (Danville 6/0), a perlescent flash rib, and a brass bead. Â Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other thread/rib/bead variations that I have used: gray/blue flash/black glass bead, yellow/orange flash/brass bead, red/red flash/white glass bead.
