There are painted bead chains available. A quick google search shows several places to shop.... one is Jann's Netcraft. Have shopped from them in the past with no issue. But, for bead chain, I normally go to Home Depot and get the bead chain for ceiling fans. If I want to paint them, I use Pro-Tec Powder Paint to change the color. But, for the most part, mainly use them in silver and gold "as is".

Shopping on eBay can bring up all sorts of tying goodies. There are plenty of online shops. Or just get some matte paint and daub them

Brought the five weight fly rod and more COAF Damsel Flies. This time, added a little white marabou so we can see it a little better in the water. Had a number of Bass ignore the COAF Damsel Fly, had two others consider it but did not strike, and had three that went for it! Fun stuff! Today's Video

... went with a purple and white COAF Damsel Fly that we tied several weeks ago. That was the ticket with three Bass caught this round. Got video of two; camera battery died by the third Bass. Did get a picture of it though! Today's Video.

Action was slow but steady with several Sunfish caught using a COAF Griffith's Gnat, and then one Bass on a Near Deere, and six Bass that went for a COAF Damsel Fly. No Bruisers but still good to get out on a nice Sunday morning! Today's Video. Liking the simple but effective COAF Damsel Fly pattern!

Tied a few fishing flies for the weekend. Had not tied a COAF Damsel Fly in awhile; sure could have used one at the local pond today! Post. Tied two in purple as well as some Near Deere.
