(1) I designed this pattern specifically for long stretches of pocket water.
(2) The bead color can be change out to normal brass and even colors such as coffee and black.
(3) The body is made from twisted metallic DMC embroidery thread and then the back colored with an indelible marker (Light Tan). Lightly cover with UV resin. Several color options are available to the tier.
(4) DMC comes as an one strand material which can be further split to individual fibers. Larger flies may call for 3 or 4 strands where as smaller flies require less individual strands.
Materials:
Hook: Fulling Mill Czech Nymph, sizes 10-16 (Size 12 pictured)
Bead: Size appropriate tungsten or brass. Colors: Gold, black or coffee
Thread: UTC 140, cream. Used to build body taper. Finishing/Dubbing thread is UTC 70, brown.
Body: 3-strands of DMC embroidery (#E746) Pearlescent Effects (This is a soft creamy yellow with pearl mylar. AWESOME for caddis pupa!) Twist tightly and wrapped forward.
Thorax: Awesome 'Possom dyed dark brown mixed lightly with Fine Flash dark peacock. Picked out heavily.
