Very buggy looking nymph, great tie/photo Jan.

Thanks for sharing

That is a nice tie. And I would say the fish like it because, not despite, its scrufiness

 

Now, if you want to experiment a bit, try tying it with red or pink or peacock thorax.

That's pretty cool. Looks like a cross between a PT and a HE. I may have to tie some up.

This is a great looking fly. Sometimes I think this site promotes the artistic side of fly tying a little too much, and doesn't talk about the fishability aspect enough. I tie to catch fish myself, and I would fish that nymph there in many situations. What is the smallest size that you are tying that pattern ? I'm confident that would work great even in smaller sizes as a general mayfly pattern... Good job.

A very fishy looking pattern . Like some other have said it looks like a fly that will catch trout for sure . I wouldn't hesitate to use it on my fishing trips.......Frank

Ooo! That is a terrific little fly, Jan. I think the "scruffiness" adds a lot to the fly. Fish it with confidence.

Scruffy is good. After 50 years or so of catching fish on scrffy flies, I keep on making them scruffier and scruffier. Your right, fish love em that way.
