Fulling Mill JT Tungsten Bead Spider Waterhen Bloa

The old silhouette, taken down where it could never go

The Waterhen Bloa has always represented an olive struggling in or under the film, and unweighted that limits it to the top foot of water. A tungsten bead changes the range without changing the shape, so the same soft-hackled outline can be fished on the bottom of a run or hung deep in a lake. Swing it, figure-of-eight it, or dead drift it under an indicator. Two on the same leader is a genuinely effective river rig.
