Mirage Beadhead. After posting the Hydropsyche Larva varation last week it got me thinking what is the fly I mostly use with it since I rarely fish it alone. Instead I usually have a Czech style nymph rig with 2-3 flies. There are of course many go to -patterns but this simple little fly has been proving to be useful in many situations and is a good choice if you are looking for a searching pattern for trout or grayling. It’s super fast to tie, only thing slowing you down is if you wish to coat the UV glue body with a layer of varnish but even that’s not really an issue if you do the bodies ready and complete the flies the next day or after couple hours break. Again I like to use TMC 2457 #16-18 hooks as they are heavy and strong for the size. I usually fish these in places with strong current so I have to be able to trust the hook when I’m playing a fish. Hook: TMC 2457 #16-18 or similar Weight: Gold Tungsten bead and some leadfree wire on the thorax. Underbody: Build a smooth tapered underbody with a light tying thread. Body: UTC Mirage Tinsel - Opal #M. Coated with UV cured resin like Bug Bond and with a light coat of varnish for added shine and durability. Thorax: SLF Spikey dubbing - Fox Squirrel (Natural)

Finally got me some nature time. The Hubs and I did a little fly fishing around our local waters. Guess what, I caught my first (wild) brook trout! Look at how pretty the patterning is: slate blue with hot pink and lemon polka dots with racer strips on the fins~ Me thinks these are prettier than rainbow trouts.

They’re going back home! 🏞 Photo Credit: @evan.schock
