Invest in some Diawl Bachs they will serve you well.  |

crunchers with various coloured globrite floss tails. you can also change the thorax colour. plenty variations with one basic pattern.

There's some cracking variations on themes with both pheasant and hare as bases. A personal favourite of mine at the moment is as follows: Hook: Size 14 Sprite Sproat Silk: Black 8/0 uni Tails: Pheasant tail herl tips approx 1/3 the length of shank Abdomen: Pheasant tail herl wound flat Rib: Fine silver wire Thorax: Tightly dubbed olive dyed mole fur Wing case: Pheasant tail herl from the tails and abdomen. It's been working a treat up here in the Lake District for fish feeding on both buzzers and nymphs. Pic of a nice 11" fish I took with it the other day is here: www.geocities.com/fastna2/images/greatday/f2b.jpgCheers, |

You could also try a normal Pheasant Tail Nymph with a pearly 'braid' thorax too. That also works a treat. The first time my father tied them up and tested them on a local river, he was catching trout on nearly every cast!
