The solution to any problem -- work, love, money, whatever -- is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach

Is it beaded Dizzy? The reason I'm asking is because most my point fly's are not beaded (or weighted for that matter).
Steelhead
Ja, its is, but its a glass bead.

My personal choice is either a mustard cadis or flash back nymph (real small and with no wheight unless the water is fast)
The best day to go fishing is any day that ends in a "y"

Yup - caddis emerger/mayfly pattern.

PTN Hotspot & PTN Flashback depending on the flow, glass bead or copper bead. And sometimes I use a White death!!
Keeper
#14 or #16 gold flashback PTN unweighted and unbeaded. Keep the thorax thin (not tadpole shape).
