Stoned Mop

Dude, another great use of the infamous mop material. Give it a different profile and more action with this fly.

I subscribed based on this video alone. I am tying these up right now. You have a great channel!

A pinch on the mop, on the head end, just before tying off, will allow you to pull the excess fluff off the mop and expose the core threads, You can tie them down more firmly, eliminating the raggedy ends. Any space created by that can be covered with dub, to suggest a thorax.

Great idea, Big T. I will be tying some up! Keep up the good work.

Nice tie 👍 and you are absolutely right, it doesn't matter how they ride in the water they are always productive flies.

what size bead and color also what hook and size

[@marksleeper3752]

thanks I had the volume down

I will vary the bead size but usually in the 3.0 to 4.0mm range. Hook is a size 10. I have also played with using a regular countersunk bead vs. a slotted bead on a jig hook which gives more room to tuck the mop material in at the bead.
