The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

It doesn't look too tough. The body is glass beads covered with epoxy. My guess would be beads on wire, probably a guitar string, dipped in epoxy. I'd double the guitar string over making sure
not to crease it too tight so the beads would fit tight then dip it in epoxy. The head on the brown pattern looks like ostrich herl and peacock herl on the olive pattern. The body looks like antron with hen hackle and a couple strips of flash. I think I would try crystal hackle or polar chenille instead of antron. Both are pretty much the samething just different lengths. Great stuff.
