A few days ago, we found damsel nymphs in a throat sample. My buddy Rick was already fly fishing with a BMW tied balanced. It is a very simple fly to tie once you build the chassis for the fly. The chassis is a size 14 jig hook, a sequin pin and a 7/64ths tungsten bead, copper or gold. The tail and body is olive marabou and the rib is copper or red coloured small wire. I am sure these tasty flies would have been successful tied with a nymph hook of your liking too!
Sometimes no flash is good, just simple earthy colours can get the takes. I laughed at Rick when he told me he tied up a few of these at 2 am the night before we went out! Rick claims the best meal to eat just before fly tying is Kentucky Fried Chicken. Do you think he washed his hands or just pulling my leg!
Enjoy the weekend. Looks like another fabulous two days for fly fishing! I'd love to hear from you abou your adventures.
