Special Tying Instructions:

Easiest fly in the world to tie?  Just slide on the beads in order.  Run the thread on and build up to stop beads sliding off – then cast of thread with hand whip finish.

Fishing Instructions:

Works anywhere – particularly good on clear water small stillwaters e.g. Meon Springs or Chalk Springs etc.  Fish it dead drift or an unbelievably slow retrieve.

Interesting Facts:

A very robust fly – surprisingly takes are usually very gentle and hooking is usually in the top lip so don’t play them to hard.
