What kind of patterns do you use?

This is a perfect use for those Psychedelic Spiders or any other color(such as
yellow) for easy visability. Foam works great for a tying material for this
purpose and once in a while they catch a fish also. I guess foam beatles would
work as well, but would be harder to see. You can see pictures on Stan's
flyswap pages.

A friend picked up a dozen of the yellow foam spiders from our club auction
last year and brought me a few pictures of some blue trout he caught on them in
Scotland last year. He started using them that way when the trout would not
leave his strike indicater along and he switched to those yellow foam spiders.
