What pattern would you use for these?

[nighthawk]

I bought these off of ebay for a great price. They are glass and silver lined. 6/0 size



Now I mainly fish warm water and trout streams. These would make great salmon flies but what type of warm water or trout patterns can be tied with them?

How about a bead head woolly bugger?

I think I'd go with purple patterns.

I make a caddis pupa that is blue beads with dubbing in between, but the blue is a lot darker than this, if it is accurate.

I have no idea but I like the way you do stuff. Buy cool supplies then try to find a way to use it.

Eric,
Here are some ideas:

Try replacing this pattern's body with your beads: http://flytyer.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/lsr_bbc.jpg

Glass Bead Caddis: http://loomisflyfisher.blogspot.com/...-patterns.html

Bead Scud: http://www.geocities.com/riverdances...s/beadscud.jpg

Use the beads for the body: http://www.acc.umu.se/~widmark/fly/bead4.jpg

Use the bead as a bubble: http://www.ifly4trout.com/images/Bea...Midge%20sm.jpg

Use the bead behind the hackle: http://www.flymph.com/assets/images/PTSH-Metal-Bead.jpg

Clay,
I hear ya! One of the reasons I do that is I think fish key on the prey that looks out of the ordinary. Perhaps it triggers their curiosity but I think it more likely to trigger their instinct to prey upon the weakest of a species. I have no evidence to back this up, just some experiences. Same reason I do not worry about that perfect wing, tail, etc.. Ugliness and cripples catch fish!

I bought a big bag of multi-colored beads like those and use them as bead heads on wooly buggers by matching the bead color to the bugger color.
