Default Barred S-Loop Nymph

An alternative to the S-Loop nymph, this time using Barred Woodduck for the tails and loop. Great for fishing as an ascending nymph with a lift at the end of the drift - aiming for an induced take:

Dave,
Great fly, nice tie, but I really really do not like that hook, I think it would look and possibly fish better on a 200r, but whatever floats (or sinks) your fly go with it.

Regards
