White Beady Bugger
Hook: 3x nymph hook size 8
Tail: White arctic fox fur and pearl flash material
Body: Clear pearl glass beads
Hackle: Wide white strung saddle hackle
My second Fly of the Day, the white beady bugger, is pretty straight-forward. The materials used do give the fly a good bit more translucency and movement in the water than your basic bugger which the fish seem to like. Tie some up, try them out.
Great tie! The author’s of “Carp on the Fly” rate the white WB as a favorite for grass carp. Your added sparkle may help, and I like the arctic fox tail, especially for durability. An obvious fry imitation I think as well.

Thanks! I was thinking about going to a small pond this afternoon to harass some carp, but honestly didn’t consider using this fly. I’ll try it out. If I do any good you’ll hear about it.
I like the glass beads body. Looks like a great fly to me.
