BEAD HEAD BUZZER

BEAD HEAD BUZZER

Hook : Daiichi 1270 # 18 - 20

Thread : Uni-Thread 8/0 Olive

Body : Scud Dub Light Gray

Rib : Fine Tinsel Pearl

Thorax : Scud Dub Light Gray

Wing : Goose Biot Tan

Head : Cyclops Bead Eyes Black 3/32

Fly Tier: Lawson Devery

Tying Instruction :

1) Push on the bead to lie against the upturned eye.

2) Tie in the olive thread immediately behind the bead and build up a taper to hold the bead in place next to the eye of the hook. (An option here is to place a tiny spot of Superglue on the hook to hold it in position)

3) Wind the thread down towards the bend trapping the rib in place and finish ź way around the bend.

4) Come back up the hook with the dubbed thread; keep the dubbing very sparse toward the rear of the hook. Follow with the ribbing

5) Tie in the wing buds next to the bead so they are pointing upwards at a slight angle, take a couple of turns more of slightly thicker dubbing around the wing roots and pick out as thorax. Tie off.

Note :

Keep the body as slim as possible.

I started fishing when I was about 6 with my uncle George who was a great (covert) extractor of Salmon from the River Tay, he never took any more than the family needed and tended only to remove fish from stretches of the river owned by the English.

I started tying flies a few years later to fish for trout on a wee river that runs through St Andrews and it was there I started to appreciate the delight of the upstream dry fly.

I am now very lucky to live now in Hampshire in Southern England and if we ever get a summer this year I will be out on the local lakes and chalkstreams trying once again to get them to rise. I am a member of out local Flydressers Guild and help out with a bit of the instruction. I guide on local rivers

when I get a chance to and when I can get back up to Scotland for the silver tourists.

My daughter lives in Vancouver, Washington State so when we visit I try to get away and get few a days on the Fall or Silver Creek. I floated a couple of the Cascade Lakes last summer and had a great time thanks mainly to the local fly fishers who made me most welcome with tips and tales. Got my first steelhead on the Deschutes also last year, mainly due to an excellent guide who put me right on top of the fish.
