Skues' BWO Nymph

No comments yet

Since I have plenty of cow hair I was looking for other patterns to use it and this nymph from Skues was brought to my attention.

Hook: 1 or 2 down eye round bend. Equivalent to 13 or 14.
Silk: hot orange
Hackle: dark blue dun, webby hen, 2 turns at most.
Tail: dark blue dun hen - 3 strands tied short
Body: cow hair the color of dried blood. Tied fat with no taper.

The tying process and pattern are from Skues' "Nymph Fishing for Chalk Stream Trout".

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
