Nice video.  Thanks for sharing.  Did anyone catch the unique look of that HE pattern? 

[Kurt Vigil]

Hi Anita,
Jonathon calls that fly a "Poly Fitus". The unique aspect of the pattern is that he attaches the bead with a straight pin jig style. Looks like a good fly.

[Anita Coulton]

It sure does, Kurt.  I'm going to assume (and correct me if I'm wrong) that the reason for attaching a bead in that manner would be to allow the fly to ride hook up like a jig? 

[Kurt Vigil]

correct!

[Mike Briggs]

anyone have a video of this style of tying?

[Kurt Vigil]

Mike,
I have seen a video; however I have not been able to find it.
I will look again.
