Kody,

That's how I think a nymph should look.

Any chance of a recipe?

Well done!

Thats a beaut kopdy, nice and chunky that one.

[kody]

Thanks, mates!

The recipe:

Hook- any nymph or what you like hook#12-#14
Thread - 17/0
Tail - golden pheasant neck fiber
Body - HE brown
Rib - crystal flash green or pearl
Thorax - HE dark bown
Wing case- Transparent latex strip 4mm. colored from below by brown permanent marker

The crystal flash rib is grate, but has disadvantage- after catching 4-5 fishes it slips off / is streching material,not elastic/ , so if this bother you, should replace it with any appropriate sparkle ribbing material.

Thanks Kody.

The proportions and the gill effect look very good.

Back to the bench tonight, I think!
