The Punch & Bead is the 2nd "Fly Of The Week" article by Tim Anderson. This is a very simple pattern that without having used it, I can tell it has that look that say the fish will respond favorably to it.

Tim's other contribution is the "Wired Ribbon Fly" which is also a simple fly pattern, with a different look that the fish will love.

I like things that are simple, especially fly patterns that do not have too many steps in the dressing of the hook to complete the pattern. I would rather spend my time on the water's edge with a fly rod in my hand and a fly on/in the water, then at the tying bench.

Well Done! ~Parnelli
