Ammonite , every Thursday 6-8pm at the "Dew Drop Inn" little red-neck bar along rt 31 , Very nice looking nymph , looks like it would get down fast , have you had much success on it Lou or is it a new one to try out yet?

Osprey;
I have had good days when they would take nothing else and other days when like any other fly it only produced a few fish. I usually use it when fishing is slow.

Lou,
Can you include the material list?

Thanks.

Is that the latex body version?

 

[LouM]

Lead underbody use thread to shape
Latex or thin skin for body and wing case
dubbing thorax
partridge legs
I coat it with nail polish or softex after coloring it

If you google it there are a lot of videos and tutorials wich will be a lot of help.

Can be colored with Sharpies. I used olive, brown, and orange/brown mix. They work well in clear water.

Lou showed me that a few years ago at a fly tying night. The nail polish slightly washes the ink providing a mottled effect. Just brush the polish lightly. Just dabbing works well.
