Default Olive Biot Nymph

Evening All,

I was messing about with some turkey biots after reading an article in FF&FT and came up with this, it's untested but it'll be getting an outing in few months.....

Very nice, that will definitely do the bizz.

Looks a great general-purpose pattern.
Very nice!
(I'd be a bit worried about that lovely herl rib tearing though...)

Hi Steve,

I see what your saying and trust me been there and worn the t-shirt but on this pattern there isn't a seperate rib as such, The rib effect is given by the fibre on the edge of the biot.

On this I put a good bed of super glue down before I wound up the turkey biot body, I tie up a few nymphs with this and other biot bodies and I usually get a couple before it starts to tear up.

all the best
