( Oliver Edwards)
Hook: Daiichi 1560 (size to match natural)
Weight: Copper wire, lead tape, or lead wire
Thread: 8/0 (color to match body of nymph)
Tails: Moose hairs
Abdomen: Flexibody (color to match natural)
Abdomen gills: Ostrich herl (color to match naturals)
Thorax & head capsule: fine dubbing (color to match natural)
Head capsule cover: Brown swiss straw
Legs: small rubber ( bent with a cauterizer)
Wing buds: Dark, brick red grouse feather, coated with flexible cement

By varying the size and color you can tie many different genera with this pattern. It has saved the day from being fishless for me when generic nymphs were not producing.
