My Bling bead head version of a red eyed damsel
« on: May 29, 2013, 10:57:41 AM »
The first version I tied had a UV chartreuse bead and no flash or sparkle dubbing - and it nailed the trout n the Umzimkulu this weekend - so now keen to try this blinged up version

this is the one I used this weekend - tied more sparsely on a shorter shanked hook  - and a little tattered after being chewed a number of times
