Default Quill nymphs
I had never thought of using the quill from my hackles before but saw some lovely caddis patterns made with it and had to give it a go. Here are the two first prototypes, these are very much works in progress so any advice is greatly appreciated.

The second one will surely work. Great looking tie.
