A more subtle way to add an attractor color to the fly is to add a little thread dam before mounting the bead on the hook. I like this method better than adding a band of color behind the bead.
Recipe:
Hook: Scud 14-16
Thread: Fire Orange 6/0 Uni
Bead: Gold tungsten
Abdomen: Turkey tail fibers
Ribbing: Gold tinsel
Thorax: Hares ear dubbing with extra guard hairs added
