Here's my version of the Birds Nest.

Byron,
I like the shuck. Going to tie some that way, but will stick with the wire rib. The mylar seems to me to be a bit much for a drab fly.

Thanks Mike.
I will let you know if it works. My belief is that it represents a caddis pupa emerging rather than a nymph.
Thanks again!

A way to dress the fly which has worked for me

Thanks for the video Hans. One of my favorite in the lakes in the Sierras. Haven't tied using the split thread yet, but I like the look. May try that the next time I'm tying some up.

I tie a very loose interpretation of the Birds Nest for warm water. It is my go-to, and has caught everything from brookies to 3# largemouth. Mainly use it for bluegills!
