Ok here's one of my first attempts. Original I tied the biot notch up for the ridge affect but decided I preferred the smoother body only because it is meant to be a nymph. I also tied one with the CDC stubs over the hook eye but decided this added too much bulk to the profile (but I'm just an amateur so as you note it's just personal preference).

Any helpful criticism appreciated.





Cheers

Steve
