Hewitt Nymphs

[gadabout 0]

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.

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.
