Mario, does the glass bead do enough to get the fly down? Or do you use it in a team?
Also, what kind of retrieve would you use with that fly?

The glass bead adds no weight, no, so I'd fish it behind a weighted fly if you would want to get it down. However, I prefer to fish unweighted flies to the yellows here, since I cast only to sighted fish. Together with a similar fly as above, (2 flies iow) which is basically a nymph (drop the partridge, add a tail) the yellows come up for up more times than not.
