Nymph
Tied By Darrell Olson
Hook: 6xl Hook
Thread: 6/0 Black
Body Parts: tail, rib, weighted wire, overbody, abdomen, legs, thorax, antenna
Materials: Goose Biots dyed Charcoal, Brassie Copper Wire, 0.020 Lead Free Wire, Charcoal Raffia, Olive Dun Fur Dubbing, Dark Speckled Hen, Dark Brown Dubbing, Goose Biots dyed Charcoal
Notes:
Bend the hook shank to create a curve in the hook so that the fly rides upside down.
The weighed wire is used to widen the body.
The raffia used for the overbody is pulled over the body after the dubbing and legs are completed.
Wrap the rib to hold down the overbody.
