Hook: Mustad 94840 #12
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Black
Tail: Pheasant TailHare’s Ear Plus Chocolate Brown
Rib: UTC Ultra Wire Small Olive
A very simple nymph that doesn’t take much material or time to tie up:
- start with tying in the rib at the end
- dub the hook until the eye
- add the pheasant tail forward
- dub behind the pheasant tail
- drag the pheasant tail back to the end of the hook
- wrap the rib forward to the eye
- tie off
I realized the last time I was in a shallow river that I only had weighted nymphs that went straight to the bottom: tying up this together with some variants on the same theme to not be there again the next time!
