Bead Heads

 

Bead heads get you down to the bottom before current can sweep your fly past fish in moving water and without undue waits in still waters. The combination of a bead head and standard unweighted pattern improves results as your fly spends more time with the fish and less time getting there.  Classic casters of the quick sink bent might consider the Hare's Ear, Pheasant Tail and Prince Nymph group.  Fish big "two fisted" rivers in the West and you need Stones.

B.H. Pheasant Tail -- Bead version of a classic nymph pattern second only to the Hare's Ear in popularity. Most European fishing experts say carp in heavily fished waters are smarter than bass or trout.  Try "Italian Dry Flies" AKA breadcrusts for carp when rivers go off color. Some  call carp "freshwater bonefish.".
