Glass bead Chironomidae

As you've probably realized by now I'm all about finding new and interesting tying materials. I really enjoy being creative, using things in ways they where never intended, and I take every chance I get to apply this  to fly tying. 

I found these clear glass beads with colored holes and love the effect they give on small flies, especially chironomidae imitations. 

I love this yarn!

I recently got my hands on some really nice multicolored yarn.

I like flies that look good and are easy to tie. And it doesn't get any easier than this. Just yarn and copper wire/colored metal wire.

Purple Nymphs for Grayling

Some Gold Head nymphs I'll be using when fishing for grayling. Purple seems to be a successful color in my home waters. A gold head is always a good addition in my opinion.

These flies will be just as good if you tie them on standard wet fly hooks. Caddis hooks look better in my view, but the graylings won't care.

These flies also work well in natural colors, with or without gold heads. Make them as complicated or as simple as you like.
