Different nymphs for starting season

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Here are some nymphs for those who want to try something different. Not classic at all but efficient. Are perfect for so called techniques like long nymphing, dynamic nymphing, French nymphs and so on.

Very nice. One bit of advice I was given years ago for early season is "go deep". But lately it's more sink initially and then lift.

 

What is the tail fiber in your second one? It looks iridescent in the image.

 

Great macro images as well.

Hi Charlie,

The tail is genuine Coq de Leon ( from Spain ): Flor de escoba sin penca mixed with Corzuno Medio. The Whiting version is a different thing, not comparable with Coq de Leon

These flies sink fast, in fact are comparable with Perdigon nymphs:

*Slim profile,

*slick material used in body,

*tungsten beads

*one or 2 turns of CDC which is not water resistant like dubbing or anything similar

Ah ha. Thank you. I have seen it much described but not had the pleasure of tying with Coq de Leon.

 

Might have to remedy that. It makes a nice tail fiber, obviously.
