Favorite Flies: Blushing Vader

I don't fish beadhead flies nearly as much as I used to. I now fish kebari mainly, but every once in a while (like tonight) I will put on a beadhead to dredge the depths and hook fish that otherwise ignore my kebari. 

One of my favorite beadhead flies is a black jig nymph, I call the Blushing Vader. It works really well when the water is high and/or off colored. 

If you like beadhead flies, give it a try and let me know how it worked for you!
