GLASS BEAD BRASSIE NYMPH FLY PATTERN TIED BY ROB GEE OF TROUTLORE FLY TYING STORE AUSTRALIA

Glass Bead Brassie Fly Tying Video Now Available

This week's fly tying video is a take on the Brassie. It's a simple yet effective fly pattern, particularly popular for imitating caddis and midge larvae and known for its rapid sinking ability. Invented in the 1960s in Colorado, this wire-bodied nymph pattern offers a streamlined profile and is easy to tie, making it a versatile choice for anglers the world over.

Here, tied as a Glass Bead Brassie, we add a little glass bead to increase sink rate and capture light like an air bubble on a rising caddis.

The video can be found at the following link :
