I tie a small tuft of bright yarn on their backs, just enough to see - but not enough to impeded them in the cast.

Jim, they look very close to the Gurgle-Pops that I tie.  Those, also, tend to look like a beetle in the smaller sizes.

called a predator-the original is a little more elaborate.they float low and resemble a lot of things.originally a trout fly i believe.you can tie alot of these at a sitting.i am gonna put a bright indicator on these as they are a little hard to see unless the water is flat
