Tungsten Beads
It can´t be helped, but trout and most fish
mostly feed on nymphs and aquatics that
live in the water, not on the surface. If you
want to angle effectively near the bottom in
a deep, powerful stream or river or get
deeper in a lake how do you quickly get the
fly down deep? In the summer, the only way
to reach trout that head for cooler water in
the deeper pools is to get the fly down to
where they are.

The problem how to get the fly into depth
fast is fairly obvious.
Tungsten is about
70% heavier than lead and is more than
twice as heavy than brass
. Furthermore
(and more importantly to us), it is
non-toxic, therefore more friendly to
humans and nature.
