Whats the body on the last 3 Robert? Is it that new nymph glass stuff? 2nd one in particular looks very nice.

very nice
just an idea with the first one, one the larger bead, push it on so the side with the larger opening faces the smaller bead, so it slots over the smaller one slightly. Makes a neater fly imo.

Does that stuff come in yellow? Being doing quite well recently with yellow bodied bugs. This fish fell to a yellow bodied bidoz.

hi robert. lovely flies mate. with the glass bodies are using the same colour glass bodies ie clear or have you used different colours and on which ones. cheers.

burhan

Robert,

That fish was caught on one with a black bead, in fact all the fish that day bar one was caught on that same fly including a nice sea trout. Think the black suits the yellow body quite well. My box is stuffed with them now.

Lovely stuff from that site. Cheers.
