Copper Bead, size 14 I certainly know where this pattern came from. It was
originated by the late Andy Puyans of Walnut Creek, California. I first met him
in 1974 and was immediately impressed with his humble and pleasant attitude.
Andy was a great innovator and created numerous patterns that a number of prima
donna fly tyers claimed as their own. His A.P. series of nymphs have stood the
test of time. He gave me this pattern and told me to try it in the East. I did as well as in Europe and with great success. This is another proof that the bead head was around before a number of people claimed it as theirs. You'll receive 6 pcs. in a size 14 tied on Daiichi 1150.
