{{+1}}Black and red hot head bugger{{-1}}
{{start}}
You can of course tie a hot head on any fly and from time to time when I am tying flies I add hot thread head to a couple of flies just to ensure that I have some options in my fly boxes.
This fly takes the hot head concept to the next step and includes a bigger than average thread head which is a significant feature of the fly.
I generally only tie it in two versions the fly described below and a brown and pink version. Particularly if the water is a little discoloured I find these flies work well.
I like to use these hot head flies either as middle dropper attractor flies or as my top dropper bob fly but from time to time also fish them on the point particularly if fish are switched onto small flies.
