That is a very good-looking nymph pattern. The "hot spot" bead, I believe, will make it a killer. That gold oval tinsel is a nice touch. Thanks for sharing this great video.
You are welcome, thank you for the feedback, it is very much appreciated. As a panfish fly I know this one will be a productive fly but I think it would work well as a trout nymph also. - Ian Anderson
It definitely should slay the panfish, Ian. I have tied a similar one with a tuft of ostrich fibers as tails, a twisted yarn abdomen, two centipede legs bluegill, dark ostrich herl collar, and a white plastic craft bead head. They worked great on early season bluegills.
Thank you for the comment! I had thought of putting in some rubber/Sili legs once the fly was done. Sounds like they would be a positive addition! - Ian Anderson
Very nice will give it a try
Thank you, this one turned out pretty nice. Lots of options for changing this on up a little. - Ian Anderson
