Most have a bright red or orange hot spot. They all seem to work really well. Again, I'm not sure why, as they should seem to scare the fish away. I would think red extinction would come into play with these deep diving flies, but hot spots seems to work despite what I think. -Tom<br />Tom Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18240935660681343164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952460912398461727.post-61075815181705478912019-02-15T09:24:33.549-08:002019-02-15T09:24:33.549-08:00Tom, here is a video tutorial on tying the Tenkara...Tom, here is a video tutorial on tying the Tenkara Bloody Stone fly pattern:<br />http://www.blue-ribbon-flies.com/how-to/tenkara_bloody_stone Enjoy....Karl.Karl Klavonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106924689249049925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952460912398461727.post-7452014505599865592019-02-15T08:28:02.622-08:002019-02-15T08:28:02.622-08:00Hi Tom.

I have a question to ask about the bead head fly pattern pictured, is that a red wire rib? <br /><br />Although it is counter intuitive to think it would work, limited amounts of red flash materials included in combination with predominately black fly tying materials seem to make for very effective fish catching flies under the right conditions. I say counter intuitive because red is the first color to shift to black, often in a distance of only a foot or two in discolored water or dark lighting conditions. And as I understand it, this is not a good place to use FL-Red materials because they are too bright, which turns the fish off as the extra bright color shift happens as the fish is approaching the fly to take it. Their are a number of commercial dubbing blends available which have the right mix of red flash to black materials to insure success and are called things like: Bloody Leach, Bloody Stone and such dubbing materials. Any insights you may have on this would be much appreciated by me and others I would think....Thank you....Karl.Karl Klavonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106924689249049925noreply@blogger.com
