Been tying these nymphs with a cool new body material I discovered.
Stretch magic, the thin stuff.
Ingredients:
Hook- 1x long heavy wet / nymph hook, this case size 16 orvis
Tail- wood duck flank
Body- yellow cream thread underbody, clear stretch magic ribbed tight on top
Thorax- dark olive ice dub
Hackle- wood duck flank
Black nickel bead
Yellow cream thread collar
One thing to note is that I tie the rest of the tail flanks back to the bead On the top of the hook with open thread wraps to make the back mottled and slightly darker than the underbody.
This could be tied in any color obviously.
I think it will be a killer nymph, haven't tried it yet. The stretch magic gives it a cool dimension and almost "glows"
Let me know what you think!
