I save old feather stems, as they make for a very unique-looking body on nymphs.
So, I have an old plastic sandwich bag in which I place stems. Eventually, I get to using them. Today was the day, as I’m reloading with Perdigones. I was thinking of fishing this morning, but just couldn’t rally.
I don’t know if the above fly will work, but, it is worth a shot.
Here is the materials list:
Hook: Orvis Tactical Czech Nymph #16
Thread: UTC 70 black
Tail: Coq de Leon

Looks tasty to me. Look up the Breadcrust Nymph pattern to see how Ruffed Grouse Feathers are used. Old PA nymph pattern.
Will do!
