Generic nymph

[maharg]

Been messing about to get a generic nymph for the trout and grayling. Pinched some ideas from various flies.What do you think, worth a swim????


Hook: Partridge czech nymph, 14
Underbody: fine lead wire
Thread: uni 8/0 yellow
tails : tips of dyed red pheasant tail
body: yellow peacock eye quill, (not to happy with this, cant find a decent eye feather)
Thorax: red fox squirrel body hair with some superfine tan dubbing to act as a binder.
Thorax cover: dyed red pheasant tail

Nice tie ! Have you thought about using a biot for the body ? Lots of little gill type thingies if you tie it the right way round ?

I think biot would be better.
Just cant seem to find those eye feathers that produce that lovely 2 tone effect.

Nice and buggy, I like the spot of red on the back.
