Note: The mallard feather produces a nice colored body and is durable if secured with the wire in the opposite direction. As the nymph is weighted and does not have any collars or dubbing it sinks fast and fishes where good fish reside. The best is,when you see on the strike indicator that it is touching bottom sometimes.
