carlp5351 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2011 Nice fly Carl. What are the wing cases? The wing cases are the real thin packing foam that comes on most electronics these days. They are cut with a size 18 caddis wing cutter and colored with markers carlp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wabusk 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2011 This is the first challenge I've entered and I must say there are some awesome patterns on here. I hope everyone enjoys my entry. The nymph can be tied in various colours and sizes to match the nymphs in any stream and is surprisingly easy to whip up in under 20 minutes with preparation and practice. The fly pictures is the golden stone version on a size 12 hook. I learned this fly from a great local angler quite a few years ago and although there are some differences I try to remain true to the original. Superbug Stone Hook: Swimming nymph or TMC 200R bent Eyes: Burnt Mono Tails and Antenae: Peccary guard hairs Abdomen and Thorax; buggy looking dubbing to match natural Shellback/wingcases: Wapsi Thin Skin mottled Rib: Gold Wire Legs: Superbug Yarn bent to shape with a hot needle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
