Flymen Fishing Company announces the next generation of Fly Tying Beads
- Flymen Fishing Company introduces the Nymph-Head™ premium fly tying bead.
- Innovative new bead design adds realism and detail.

MATTHEWS, NC. – November 15, 2007 – Flymen Fishing Company today announced the availability of the Nymph-Head™ range of premium tungsten Fly Tying Beads in the United States. The Nymph-Head™ bead builds on the proven effectiveness of the common counter-sunk fly tying bead with the addition of three-dimensional “nymph eyes”. The eyes add realism and unprecedented detail in addition to the normal bead benefits of shape, flash and weight.
"We believe the Nymph-Head™ bead represents an important next step in the evolution of the basic fly tying bead as an important fly tying material” said Martin Bauden, of Flymen Fishing Company. “The result is the most effective and versatile bead available today. The ‘nymph eyes’ combine with the general bead shape and size to deliver a touch of realism, the tungsten material provides optimum weighting and the various metallic coating options give that “fish attracting” color and flash!”
Nymph-Head™ Beads enhance existing bead head nymph patterns as well as offer fly tiers endless possibilities for creating exciting, new flies. Available in 4 different colors and in 5 sizes, Nymph-Head™ Beads are versatile and can be applied to most Mayfly, Caddis, Scud, Stonefly and Midge patterns.
Nymph-Head™ beads are now available through a network of authorized Fly Shops and online retailers as well as off the FFC website. For more information on Nymph-Head™ offerings visit

“The trout’s biggest advantage is selectivity, and we can counteract it only by knowing the insects that make up his diet. This is the reason for the study of stream entomology by the angler, and it is often the weak link in his skill.”

Sand Creek is a pretty little piece of trout water that harbors some very fussy fish. Clear water in a small creek demands a quiet approach; casting from the bank is a good strategy when fishing small flies to springtime trout. Photo by Russ Forney
