Nymph
Tied By Darrell Olson
Hook: Daiichi 1870, Size 12
Thread: 70 Denier – Wine Color
Bead:
Body Parts: underbody, tail, Median Stripe, abdomen, wing case, thorax, legs
Materials: .012 Leader Material, Three Peacock Herls, White Brassie Wire, Turkey Biot Fiber – Olive, Black Thin Size, Dark Claret Brown Dubbing, Hungarien Partridge
Notes:
Underbody: Use leader material on each side of hook to widen the body. FYI .012 is roughly 10lb Monofilament. Cover with UV glue.
Abdomen: I have to tie the biot 2 – 3 times to get to the 60% point.
Median Stripe: Center over Abdomen.
Thorax: I blended Dark Brown Rabbit dubbing with Claret Ice Dub (50/50).
Median Stripe: Use the same wire and center over Thorax.
Abdomen/Thorax: Cover top with UV Thin for protection
