Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} quick fly tying question

I do like Scott says -- multiple weights and configurations.  I usually just tie whatever I happen to see at the time and go "oh yeah, I have those silver beads!"...and so forth.  I've collected enough crap now that I forget what I have and it's like a surprise.  It works best if you buy some stuff at the fly shop and leave it in the bag when you get home.

Probably not worth much, but I base it on the movement I want and what I'm imitating. So, I tie black buggers with black bead heads after seeing a leech swimming in the New River with a jigging sort of motion and I tie most brown or olive buggers with bronze cone heads to get a better crawfish hop motion, and everything else with lead wraps. Probably mostly psychological for me, but that's one approach, at least. If you wanted them, there are probably matte finish bronze coneheads available somewhere so you could split the difference.

personally id do both.  but i like big heavy flies as of late. i tie a bunch of them and just wrap the lead or heads differently, so some are head heavy, some are back end heavy and so on. just play with it and have fun.

Thanks,

Tying a bead/cone head wolly bugger.  Does it matter if I wrap lead for weight rather than conehead or does the shiny bead attract the fish.

Thanks.
