Nymph creations

i've just been messing about with some nymphs (now why was I doing that) and thought I'd post some of them here for some festive fun and the more keener fly tiers to have a guffawgh at. i've given them names for a laff.

really like the look of that muppet muddler mate, is that on the b100 hook ? and the icle pop looks like it would do the business on the river if you stuck a tungsten bead on it, keep up the good work mate

Thanks troutbumnathan, I was just playing around with different ideas. I think the hook is the one you mentioned and I used coastal deer hair for the muppet head and dyed olive goose herl with chartreuse coloured wire for the body. Plenty of inspiration here also Fly Tying Patterns, Fly Of The Week Archives, if your'e looking for pattern recipes

cheers

My favourite has to be the hoochie coochie
I do like the look of the goose herl on the muppet though.
