Cystal Bead Boatmen

To be honest it represents nothing. Its just there for weight. For some reason the Browns love this fly. I wish I had pics from last week when this fly "killed" them.

Thanks for sharing the fishing info, it looks like a hot pattern to me. How did you get it to float for that long, lol

nice fly Wellman !

 

some boatmen (there's several kinds) come up to the surface to get an air bubble and bring it back down. it's amazing that they can do that.

that bead makes it very life-like and quite perfect for reproducing that descending moment. i'm sure it's a super hot fly.

thanks for sharing.

 

cheers,

marc

Sorry all who replied during the summer. I was at my cabin the whole summer. Probably my best year for Blood Worm/ chromriod fishing.

 

Joe Hard - I got it to float by adding a little bit of floatant.

 

 

txflytier - I have this pattern in 5 colors. Black, Olive, Peacock, Brown, Rusty brown.
