If Your Favorite Part Of The Day Is When You're Wearing Your Waders, Then This Was Designed For You!

Mirage Beadhead. After posting the Hydropsyche Larva varation last week it got me thinking what is the fly I mostly use with it since I rarely fish it alone. Instead I usually have a Czech style nymph rig with 2-3 flies. There are of course many go to -patterns but this simple little fly has been proving to be useful in many situations and is a good choice if you are looking for a searching pattern for trout or grayling. It’s super fast to tie, only thing slowing you down is if you wish to coat the UV glue body with a layer of varnish but even that’s not really an issue if you do the bodies ready and complete the flies the next day or after couple hours break. Again I like to use TMC 2457 #16-18 hooks as they are heavy and strong for the size. I usually fish these in places with strong current so I have to be able to trust the hook when I’m playing a fish. Hook: TMC 2457 #16-18 or similar Weight: Gold Tungsten bead and some leadfree wire on the thorax. Underbody: Build a smooth tapered underbody with a light tying thread. Body: UTC Mirage Tinsel - Opal #M. Coated with UV cured resin like Bug Bond and with a light coat of varnish for added shine and durability. Thorax: SLF Spikey dubbing - Fox Squirrel (Natural)
