|
Hook: |
curved nymph hook, size 8 or 10 |
| Thread: |
chartreuse Uni-thread |
| Tail: |
rabbit fur |
| Abdomen: |
clear liquid lace injected with cooking oil and wrapped forward. The lace is pulled to stretch near the tail, and then the tension is gradually relaxed to create a tapered body look |
| Wingcase: |
antron floss |
| Legs: |
olive hen hackle |

plastic pre-formed or burned mono |
Note: This pattern should be tied to suit the colour of the lake bottom of the water you fish. You may colour the abdomen under the liquid lace lighter at the tail and gradually dark towards the thorax so that it shows through with a transluscent effect.
