Underwater photo - Octopus PT nymph

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

For those who love jigging here is one nymph that will not disappoint you :

Here is the same fly tied with gold bead but dry - photo wad made on my tying desk:

 

13230295_1077242275679411_43482226353024

 

Material used:

Hook Demmon Jig competition Barbless size #14

Thread: 17/0 Uni

Body: PT pheasant barbs

Hot Spot: Orange Thread

Ribbing: UV violet ribbing fibers

Torax: a mix of spike dubbing with pink and violet synthetic fibers

Hackle: Troutline CDC natural dark tan

 

An important tip that will help the fly to have more movement in water - I never make the torax between hackle and bead. The CDC hackle should stay open like an umbrella and for this reason I fix the CDC between torax and bead. The CDC barbs will pulse in water very easy and more attractive. I call it " the spider effect"

 

 

cheers

Lucian

Nice Lucian,

I really like it, Lucian.

What dubbing do you use for the thorax, and what percentage of each color? What UV violet ribbing is that?

thanks!

 

The thorax is made of purple troutline fine loch dubbing with a pinch of guard hair from hare (50% each mixed ). Ribbing is troutline UV ribbing - violet

 

bellow is another similar tied with partridge and spike dubbing:

and a close photo too see how a good spike dubbing looks in water
