Comments:
This is my variation of a nymph presented in an article by Chad Mason in "Fly Tyer magazine", winter 99 issue. The original was tied with peacock herl and an orange round rubber tag. This variation is tied in the Christmas tree colors and has proven to be an excellent panfish fly, although originally designed for trout. The recipe is listed in tying order. |
