Default Buggy nymphs

whilst out Grayling fishing last weekend my mate seem to take more bigger fish than i, i had gone down the pink shrimp route and was doing well in terms of quantity, he caught less but took bigger fish on some hares ears

all my nymphs seemed to be totally different to his an much less buggy an low profile, so i had a pop this morning at a more buggy looking offering, they are dubbed with a mix of hares mask and border terrier, i only made a few as the dog was getting narked off with me, the non beadheads have a small under wrap of lead foil... think i am gonna hedge my bets with a pink shrimp on the dropper and one of these on the point... my fave is the first...

i know there are some faults on them especially the bead head

the photography isnt up to my usual standards either as my main camera battery was flat... i had to use my mobile

Hey! who do you think you are... assessing your own work? That's Craigies job

Buggy and nymphy indeed. Yep, prefer the top one... it could easily translate to a very tasty wet, for propper fishing
