brooktrout308 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2019 Hi Guys, I figured I start tying with biots but there are so many different colors, what are the most common colors do you use ? the only two I can think of is brown for tail and white for wings on the Prince Nymph.

xvigauge 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2019 I didn't have any black goose biots in my stash, so when I saw a package of black goose biots in the local fly shop, I had to biot. I use the black biots for the wings of the Batman nymph. Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chugbug27 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2019 Try Hart's Dark Lord, a prince nymph variant with amber and brown biots... http://www.flyfishingthesierra.com/darklord.htm Also try them in pmd and bwo colors for biot bodies on those types of dries. Also a red biot for red midge bodies I've used all these with decent success on mountain stream and spring creek waters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
