Squirral Mayfly Nymph |
|
 |
|
| Hook: | TMC 200 14-24 |
| Thread: | yellow uni thread |
| Tail: | fibers from hen pheasant tail feather dyed with turmeric curry powder |
| Rib: | yellow tying thread |
| Abdomen: | same as tail, once the tail is tied in then the fibers can be folded back and used for the body. If the tyer prefers then cut and retie in |
| Wingcase: | same as tail, tie in and fold over as normal then fold back on it self and trimmed to leave small wing stubs |
| Thorax: | Squirrel body hair dyed with turmeric curry powder |
Note: The Hen pheasant can be dyed in the same dye bath as the squirrel which helps to give both materials the same shade. Works very well during pale watery mayfly hatches and if tied on a size 12 with a hen pheasant neck hackle it works very well during the E. Danica hatch. |
