Huevos Fritos, size 4. Nice little Alevin pattern. Can’t wait to try these out!
Allen,
Great pic; those are very nice flies.

Thanks Scott!
Allen,
For the bead sac, did you thread it on mono and attach to the underside of the hook before covering it with epoxy(?)

Scott
That’s what the pattern calls for. I can’t find my stash of Mono in that size range. Went with Beadalon instead.
Allen,
That is a nice tie. I have been using them too. What I added to mine before doing the final coat of UV on the bead was a red dot using some nail polish. If you see photos of alevin, many have a blood spot on the yolk part of the egg sack. This being more of an imitative pattern I decided to add it.

That’s a good idea! I may have to try that. I wonder if my wife has any red nail polish ![]()
If she doesn’t and you don’t want folks at the drug store check-out giving you odd looks, you could probably use a Sharpie.

Scott
I do have a red sharpie! Thanks!
I could give a rat’s rear what people think of me buying fingernail polish. I use Sally’s for head cement, and have Black, Pink, and an Olive Glitter in my stash.
