I have watched Kelly's vid. and like his style. Only thing for me would be getting them to sink quickly enough.

Allen, your bead heads will work well for that. I've used some lead wire in the past under that thorax, sometimes enough to make it bulky-looking.

Since I've become happy with furled leaders I tie some nymphs less heavy that others but still so they'd get down. With furleds, I have had fun watching the end of the leader "twitch" as a signal w/o having to resort to another type of "indy", which I really hate. This, I've found, works well for my spring creeks where I don't have to fish plunge pools meaning the fly needn't get deep "right NOW"!!

Still, she needs to be close to the bottom. But who am I to argue with Kelly G. I'd like to know how he sinks his nymphs tho.

This is a great pattern and like some here, I like smallish nymphs best. You guys have shown some nice ties.

Jeremy.
