I'm in with a bead zebra midge if I can work out the details. Zebra doesn't look so good so I'm going with a Black Line Fly. Also found a book on tying with beads. Should arrive Monday or Tuesday. May change my mind then.

I'll do a Bead Body Caddis Pupa
Flies are in the mail.
I need to change my pattern (I don't have the right black feathers). I wound up doing a larger version of a Mercury Midge, using Spanflex for the body. I tried it out at the stream by the house and caught 4 bluegills, and 3 Rainbow trout (they didn't seem to mind that it is huge, for a midge...) in less than 45 minutes.
Since it uses a different body material, I guess I'll call it the Giant Mercury Bluegill Bug.
Hook: sz. 14 scud
Thread: 6/0 black Unithread
Head: 6/0 clear glass bead from Walmart
Body: white Waspi Spanflex
Ribbing: medium copper Uniwire
Collar: black dubbing
They'll go out in tomorrows mail.

July SOTM flies mailed today.

If I can find the right beads, I'll be tying a green scud.
I stop doing SotM, I'm not capable of tying anymore.
Let the fly be with you....
