think you're right! Good eyes!

Im actually digging the bead backwards, it looks more like a realistic head.

The backwards bead might even give it a little more action in the water too.

I had decent success with a hybrid of my own a couple of years ago. It was a Hares Ear/Pheasant Tail.

Tail: rabbit

Abdomen: pheasant tail

Thorax: gray dubbing

Wing case and legs: pheasant tail

Head: gold bead

 

If I can find some pics I will post them later.

Hi,

 

I think I have settled on this version of the Hybrid. I think this will be my "go to" nymph.

Thanks,

 

The back of the thorax is a blend of red fox squirrel Belly hair and ice dubbing. The forward part of the thorax is squirrel back fir mixed with ice dubbing.

Nice nymph I will attempt some of these this weekend. I agree, you should defiantly put it in the database.
