Hi Murf,
I just put the pattern on from Byards
fly but yours is slightly different. I assume the hackle is CDC? Can you have a
look and just let me know the differences. Looks like CDC and some Lite Brite
type dubbing not peacock herland partrdge?????
Cheers
KP

Keith,
I think mine is on the VFB patterns list under Byard's
Killer Kaddis with a Kicker if I didn't send it.

I'll put it on the list because I think I still owe it to
Keith for the IOFF swap (you can see a picture of it at http://fnfwilts.tripod.com/id15.html)
- this is adapted from another pattern I found in a book - they actually
used epoxy glue to make each of the segments, but beads are so easier.
Hook: 12-16 Dry Fly hook
Thread: Black Uni
6/0
Body: 2 Black 8/0 Seed Beads (or resized based on hook)
Butt: 1
Red 8/0 Seed Bead (or resized based on hook)
Legs: 1 Grizzly Hackle,
single or double wrap (preference)
I use dry fly hooks since they
are usually thinner, and the glass seed beads don't have a large
opening. Experiment with the length and size of the beads to match
the area you are fishing. Slide each of the beads on first.
Start the thread behind the butt segment. Build up just enough to
keep the bead on. Loop between the red and middle black bead.
Again, build up just enough to keep the bead in place. In between
the 2 black beads, tie in and wrap the hackle for the legs. At the
eye, build up and tie off. I add a drop of glue in between each
bead, including the back and at the eye just to stabilize it. Since
it's going to sink, doesn't matter much.

You can weight them or design them
differently - I have a glass bead ant that I use to fish
subsurface. One of the articles I read commented that you don't
really see ants stay on top of the water long - they struggle and start
to sink. This pattern is great on Paint Creek here by my house -
I'll fish it as a dropper with an adams as my indicator.

I was
wondering if I'm the only one that does this. I weight some "Dry Flies"
with lead wire to make them sink...There is a few in particular, and I
have had real good luck with it... Foam Beetles, Foam Spiders (or any
bluegill foam fly with rubber legs).. Ants, and letort
hoppers..
At least THIS
time of the year because I only fish for bluegill (and bass( because
there are NO trout here. The fish are not feeding on top, even in the
late evening, like they do in the Spring/Summer.. So, I started
weighting these flies to "get the flies to where the fish are". Anybody
else do this??? Any others you weight that I didn't mention and you have
good luck with. That weighted Letort Hopper, tied in a dark brown
(almost black) with rubber segmented legs is great, because around here,
one of the best fishing for brim is done with hook, sinker, bobber, and
live crickets.. Well, by tying those in dark color to look like a
cricket, and "twitching" it through the water to make it look alive.....
It is a great fly....Or, am I just a nutcase of the group??? Allan Fish
you do NOT get to answer that LOL... All the DVD's, Tapes I have seen
say to "experiment"... so I do. All you other "dry fly weighters" come
out of the closet and join Me LOL... Chuck
