A Frenchie Nymph is really a simplified pheasant tail that is heavily weighted and has a hot spot! It an excellent nymph that quickly gets deep. Take a look at the way Tim Flagler ties it! You can certainly substitute different ice dubs for the thorax. Experiment!
Thanks to Dan Reaman for showing us this fly during one of our club's tying sessions!
