General purpose mayfly nymph  


tied by OSD
Material List: Hook - 3906 8-16
Thread - yellow or primrose
Tail - pheasant golden back feather barbules
Body - Yellow dyed rabbit dubbing
Ribbing - copper thin gage wire
Wing case - mallard flank
Beard - pheasant golden back feather barbules

Tying Instructions: Some call this a hare ear nymph but it doesn’t necessarily need to be tied with Hare or rabbit dubbing, you can use any type or color dubbing to match the mayfly nymphs in your area Also any materials used can also be subsisted for materials that you have or ones that better match the actual nymph you’re imitating

I am using a general propose wet fly hook the fly can be tied with size 8 – 16 but for this picture demonstration I will use the size 8. I am going to tie a yellow mayfly nymph this color will not look this bright once it’s in the water.

Instead of explaining each step I will just post the pictures and you will get the idea

Introducing Hatches Magazine

While Supplies Last Get the 2007,2008 & 2009 Issues for only $10

Hatches is an annual publication with a strong devotion to professional writing, beautiful photography and informative articles pertaining to both the artistic and practical aspects of fly tying. Each issue features 13 featured articles that span a massive 96 pages.

I agree with the feedback you have received about Hatches. This is by far the best magazine I have seen that shares the wealth of knowledge without the additional 30 pages of vendor advertisements. I understand they are needed revenue but it is refreshing to see the quality of your articles etc. without having to thumb through all of the ads. I also take three other periodicals that are OK but no where nearly as good as Hatches. I wish you continued success and would like the opportunity to have 3 year subscriptions some time. Thanks again for all of your hard work and excellent presentation in Hatches. Best of luck, I wish you a long life and can't wait until you are recognized as the number one periodical presenting fly fishing knowledge.
