Guest Report post Posted November 20, 2003 I have some San Juan worms which called for a bead at the center of the hook, under the chenille. They work! Beads also make good caddis body extensions. You run a few beads onto a thread, draw the ends of the thread together, letting the beads come to the end of the loop. Then you tie the thread to the hook, (to which you've already added a couple beads to build the front end of the body) so that the beads are hanging just off the end of the hook, and voila! You've got a swinging body. I'll post a picture of one later so it's easier to imagine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted November 20, 2003 Perfect when the flash of a bead seems to repel the fish. Is that 2 hackles? Thanks OSD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted November 21, 2003 Well I you can make it with two but this is just one (cut in half) OSD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted November 21, 2003 It looks like the chenille has a gap between it and the bead, but it doesn't. The beads have the color around the center, and are clear toward the outside. They're on a size 14 dry fly hook. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted November 21, 2003 nice looking worms, Mark....but how hard can a worm be??? LOL! I like to use a bead or two in my damsel nymph imitations....they seem to catch more trout that those without them...don't know why, but it seems that way...
