I guess I was overthinking the melted mono thing. That does make sense.

I've tried that before. But for me it just takes too much time, along with the risk of burning the hackles of the fly. This plastic bead chain is the best I have found, adds little weight to the fly, and really sets it off from a fly that does not have the eyes. Oh yeah and it REALLY cheap!

That fly is a great GL Salmon and Steelhead pattern. I've had great success with that fly.

Textbook

I get the Ezee Bug from Feather-Craft. It's an awesome online fly shop at feather-craft.com. All kinds of great materials and great descriptions on how to use the stuff.

Sounds Good! I am excited for this swap.

Figured out how to dye them suckers. I broke open 2 black sharpie markers and put the inserts in a ziploc bag with the plastic beadchain. Zipped it up and squeezed the ink out of the inserts. 10 minutes later I had 10 feet of little plastic eyes for steelhead nymphs for about 4 bucks!

I wanted to find out for myself.....I thought smallies as well.

Just curious to see how we all have our preferences.

the original pattern calls for metal beads. But I think the plastic pearl beads make it a bit more "fishy". I've got them in all sorts of colors.

I like using Tiemco 8089's for my clousers, the wider hook gap helps with hook ups. I also like Dai-Riki 810's for smaller clousers. I've been tying them a ton so far this winter. hope this helps

Found them...but the are pearl white...how can they be dyed black?

Nice fly....could also make that a baby smallie with Rust and creme rabbit

Dr Fix I guess it just drives me nuts not being able to make it as nice as you see in the Fly Shops.
