All Fur Swimmer Hook: Size 16 Nymph Bead: Gold 3/32" Weight: Lead Free .010* (this is incorrect it is .015) Thread: Brown 14/0 Veevus Tail: Pine Squirrel Body: Pine Squirrel Hackle**: Pine Squirrel * Hughes uses lead free .010 (.010 is incorrect it is .015)on a lot of the flies in the book I am working from ** I have always thought the word hackle referred to feathers, but here Hughes applies it to fur - something I have never heard of before.

Now that you mention it I remember reading chugbug27's SBS. Anyway, here is a picture of Hughes' version (from his book): Note: I over did it on the thorax!

I did a little research and, apparently, the fly in the book I am working on is Hughes' version of Charlie Brooks Montana Stone. I would provide a link, but every time I try I get an error message. https://www.spencerewert.com/WesternTroutFlies/CharlesBrooks.html Or not. Worked that time.

Yes, I am tying every fly in the book. All but one of the flies I have posted since I returned have been from the above mentioned book. I would be interested in seeing the recipe in "Essential Trout Flies'

Yes, Dave Hughes Nymphs for Streams and Stillwaters.
