In the small reservoirs, the trout have often the opportunity to feed on chironomid, attacking those insects that are spending their life ate the stage of pupa. As a rule, to allure these fish, the "fliers" generally use very imitative artificials: the rainbow trout, when take minuscule preys, can be extremely selective. However, a valid strategy to induce them to attack the fly is to tie on our leader a Yellow Micro Gold Head, offering it to the trout in a static way, in practice making it to fall slowly to the lake bottom, or conferring it a vital aspect by retrieving quite fast the line.
This fly has very little imitative qualities, but for its capacity to reflect the sun light, to vibrate its delicate fibres when it swims into the water and to appear like a small and vulnerable prey, can provoke the fish to an instinctive reaction of attack. For these reasons, the Yellow Micro Gold Head should be always present inside the boxes of those anglers that regularly fish on the reservoirs.

INSTRUCTIONS
I face the building process of a Yellow Micro Gold Head introducing of a small plastic gold bead on the hook shank, which is then brought close to the hook eye. Next I clamp into the vice jay the hook and I wrap along the rear half of the shank a piece of fine lead wire, in order to realise the ballast structure of the fly
I tie in the thread on the hook and I wrap it around the lead turns, so to make joint them firmly to the shank. Next I fix the yellow floss to the hook and I wind it around nearly all the shank and part of the bend, in order to form the body
With open turns of the black thread over the body, I make the ribbing of the fly
I bind in a small natural red cock hackle behind the golden bead, fixing it so that its tip is protracted a little beyond the hook bend, covering the body
I grip the stalk of the hackle in the specific pliers and I wind it around the hook section interposed between the body and the golden bead, creating a thin collar
Fixed the hackle and trimmed off its excess, I whip finish the fly

A drop of clear varnish behind the golden bead and over all the body will increase the strength of the Yellow Micro Gold Head, helping me to use it during many fishing expeditions
