How To Tie Euro Nymphing Anchor Fly - for Beginners - "Baby Got Bead" fly

Beginners guide to tying an awesome anchor fly for Euro Nymphing, by a beginner. This has proven to be a great anchor fly as well as a really good on the lake or as a jig. What I love about this fly is the action it gets from the rabbit hair and how quickly it sinks with it’s sparse body. I’ve been using this while the rivers are running high and fast from the Spring rain and Winter run-off. You don't have to be a great tier to catch fish - and it's a blast to catch fish on something you tied! I hope you give it a try - let me know in the comments if you do.
For the experts out there - I know I made tons of mistakes - this was to inspire others to give it a try.
