Fly tying and fishing a simple but effective pattern. A partridge hackle tied against a jig-off glass bead gives the impression of an air bubble at the head of a hatching insect with unfolding legs and wings behind.
There many more of my fly designs and new tying materials and methods in my book Fly Couture. You can preview the book at https://nickthomasflytying.myportfolio.com/fly-couture-book
