Bill's Soft Hackle Stonefly Nymph
This fly was tyed by Bill Shuck (tie2fish). I stole a few out of his fly box last year when I got the chance.

Beads for trout flies are Gods way of helping those "special" fly fishermen that need a little help. And lick windows. I really should use more beads. I qualify.tie2fish wrote:... and the bead.

Don't bring that to the Madison.
It won't fish here.
Please send a gross for the fly shop.

Nice! I need to tie a few of those up for Slovenia in July. Is there any chance of a materials listing?
