Very nicely done! Can you list the hook size/model and bead size you’ve used? I’d like to copy this pattern.

OMG! Blasphemy!
Only kidding, I'm more sacrilegious than you! I sometimes dress spiders on a jig hook

And why do you need a bead? What’s wrong with a heavy nymph hook?
Love both fly fishing and fly tying, been doing it for a while
But not much good at either
