Tying a Tungsten Bead Nymph by Davie McPhail.

[yahwhous]

Nice fly. Is the lite-bright intended to imitate some feature of a nymph, or is it there for attraction?

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi yahwhous,

The lite-brite will help imitate the gas bubble which forms to help propel the nymph to the surface but as well for attraction..

All the best Davie

Davie,

I tied a couple of these as best I could with the materials I had, I caught a lot of fish with them today. Rainbows,Brownies, and Brook trout. Thanks for the great nymph. I am going to tie it a bit larger tonight as I'm going after a few steel head that are in my home river yet. Thanks again for all the great videos.

another great fly Davie.

One quick question. Where do you get your lead foil from?

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi sasquatch446,

I buy mine from the Glasgow Angling Centre it comes from a company called Veniards but I have heard that you can find it in golf shops as they use it to help balance the clubs. It's made by Scotch Tape 3M...

If you still can't find it please get back in touch...

All the best Davie
