Default nymphing eck

Lost one of my best nymphs up a tree tonight but a nice brownie over a pound made up for it (I think) anyway a nymph down means another must take its place, so i came back and tied this one, which is nothing like the one I lost. Probably look better on a kamasan B175 but I tied it on this barbless hook for a change. Not sure about the pearsalls salmonberry,maybe oilve would be better I think.

Once again, great proportions. Enviable tying.

Lovely looking little nymph. As you rightly say, olive would have been better than the salmon berry. Looks like you used enough to tie 2 clyde style flies. Where did you get your salmon berry from?

Nice tying again Mark. I think it would be suited to one size smaller for the hook. Materials tied to same size as posted (if you know what I'm getting at?).
The salmonberry gives it a sort of tups look.
