Macaw Nymph

[peepingcaddis]

How

I used the tail feathers of a blue macaw given to me by a friend, great stuff like PT but longer, the blue green fibres used on this nymph are great when damsels are on the go! Do many anglers have these?

Now I like those, a lot!

Great for early season before the LDO hatch gets underway properly me thinks?

Okay mate, Just knocked these quick ties together so those that don't like spiders have something to oogle at:

This has a biot body and herl thorax

Great versatile feathers.

Try the blue/red ones as the body of an F-Fly. Tie in on a curved shank so the tips form a short tail. The red in the tail appears as very fine copper rib. Wing off with enough CDC as necessary. Super quick to tie

I believe a certain welsh international has a good supply
