Let's talk about Christmas Fly Box Swap

Agreed. It was a special treat to get three flies from Norm. Of course, Nick’s efforts in pulling it all together cannot be understated. -
Thanks! I knew I’d seen that thread before, but couldn’t remember where. i was never sure if the nymphs in Bergman’s book were “hard-body nymphs” or something else.

Has anybody here tied any of the three Hewitt nymphs featured in Plate 10 of Bergman’s Trout? There is not much description on the materials or techniques used. I’m a little puzzled on how to approach this, particularly the hackle section. I’m sure it’s adequately described in Hewitt’s books, but I don’t have any of them.

Just opened this beautifully tied box of emergers from Fishin’ Bob Nelson. Thank you Bob and Happy Holidays to all! -
That sounds right. Before that, it was “zone numbers”.
-
Thanks Norm!

Nice Norm. Where did you find scarlet dubbing? I’m having trouble finding scarlet anything?
