Markbob 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2011 Absolutely gorgeous nymph. Where do I get Trout Line nymph skin? Are you using the same piece for the wing case that you wrapped around the abdomen? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBBruce77 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2013 Really nice pattern . The only thing I'll change is the hook to a straight shank hook to increase the reliability of hook ups as the hump shank straight eye hooks are really a lousy hook to fish with but they do look nice for a display pattern.

vicrider 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 I am about to attempt this one. If I can make it work it will become a staple in my nymph box. It does a better job of giving those little fluttering gills the nymphs have than anything I've seen before. Having watched many videos of nymphs in the water one of the things that really stands out is the rapidly fluttering gills on their sides. This is a tie that gets close to that.
