Hybrid Nymph

Hi,

I'm torn between a Pheasant Tail and the Red Fox Squirrel. Trying different hybrids.

Nice tie Planet!!!!!!

I really like the color scheme of the hybrid you tied. Looks great!

Another thing you might try is leave out the wing case and put in a mottled soft hackle.

[Byron haugh]

That's a good option!

I really like the Mirage Opal Tinsel for most of my flashback nymphs but one thing I've been messing around with lately is a few different Holographic Tinsels. The red, silver, gold, peacock and black etc.. has brought some "Bling" to some things. Like a red under some scud-back on the abdomen of stoneflies or some black or peacock in place of the normal flashbacks. As far as wing cases go turkey and pheasant are some of my favorites but some fun ideas are things like Z-lon or para post even biots. I mean you could use so much but hope some of these ideas get the electrons firing. They did for me, time to tie, working on an adult golden stone that incorporate some unique ideas.
