Hans,

 

Enjoyed your version of the A.P. Nymph. Not sure of the origin of this fly, but I tied several using your video and found it to be very successful in on two different waters. Really nice fly. Thanks.

Fly was designed by Andre "Andy" Puyans, a former fly shop owner and a very influential fisher/tyer in the West. Andy always insisted the "A.P." was for "all purpose" and not his initials.
