GOLDBEAD & LEADED LARVA
These flies are useful fished in a variety of ways on running and stillwaters. From three fly Czech Nymph teams, stalking on clear water lakes and rivers, (salmon are falling to Grayling bugs) on the point with spiders on droppers is a super technique at any time of the year on river or loch.
The key thing is to have a variety of weights and a clear knowledge of which is which!
