DFoster 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2021 I saw this nymph from Scotland on youtube and deceived to try a couple on the local streams. It's called the "Ke Diawl", In the video it's tied with a jungle cock wing case which I subbed for starling tip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

danthebugman 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2021 First attempt at a muddler minnow came out pretty good. Could maybe have used a slightly larger clump of deer hair and I might have trimmed the head a tad too small, but it'll fish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are many flymphs with the hackle tied at the collar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kim Thank you- I just ordered a new nymph box and I've decided to fill it with new flies as much as possible. I've gotten a little better at this hobby over the years so I'm trying to limit the amount of nymphs that I will transfer from the old box. Here is the link to the fly I copied. 22 hours ago, niveker said: Very nice, let us know what the trout think. I'd love to BUT my wife and I are in the middle of a full kitchen renovation so until we reach a point where the kitchen is usable getting out to fish is tough. That said, the new counter tops are scheduled for install on Friday and if that goes well I should be able to get out on Saturday morning for a few hours.
