uffepuffe 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2006 Lephtoblebia marginata mayfly nymf Hook: Any straight nymf hook size 12 Thread: Uni 12/0 and Uni 17/0 Tails: Golden pheasant tail fibers Underbody: Addishive lead sheat and 12/0 thread Abdomen: VN Nymf skin natural coloured with brown marker and golden markers Thorax: VN Nymf skin Gills: The very lowest part of a brown cock hackle feather Legs: Golden pheasant tail fibers Wingbud: Two stripped goose biots Head: Tying thread Where? The Lephtoblebia is very much a still water mayfly, so I would fish this one in lakes and very slow moving parts of streams. When? The Lephtoblebia is one of the first to hatch here in sweden, normally a activly fished nymf pattern can be fished with great results when you see the first adults hatch. This is a time where there will be alot of nymfs moving around under the surface getting ready to swim and the trout just eat away on the nymfs! How? This particular mayfly nymf is a very good swimmer and can be fished very activly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uffepuffe 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2007 Ephemera mayfly nymf Hook: Tiemco swimming nymf size 10 Thread: Uni 12/0 Tails: Natural ostrich Underbody: Adhessive lead and yellow dubbing Abdomen top: Turkey Abdomen underside: summer duck substitute or lemmon duck Legs: Root ends of natural ostrich Wingbuds: black goose biots Head: Same as abdomen I skipped the gills because I think they added to little considering the time it took getting them to look nice. The legs are "Veli auti" style but using fine ostrich herls instead of golden pheasant tail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steelie 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2007 Good Day, Uffe, Back to the first post... Have you considered making the head out of thicker foam? I am thinking of a pre-emergent nymph. One that has hit the film but the wing pads have not yet split? Hmmmm... Steelie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kozielfishing 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2007 Hydropsychidae Caddisfly Larva Hook: 8-10 Head - black thread Legs - gold pheasant tail Step by step: 1. Wind a lead on hook 2. Green thread on it ( underbody ) 3. Then an animal skin ( Specially prepared before tie. The preparation of the body material is the most difficult, time consuming and important process which gives the final result you can see ) - white hair are the opposite side of the skin Thorax : is painted on brown Hope it helps and you will understand my description Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
