Help Me Identify This Pattern
It's a little nymph made with simple dubbing.
Looks like, Red Fox Body Fur.....?????????????????? Pretty hard to define...GOOD LUCK!

Looks like a fur and copper, which is of course a hair and copper tied with any fur other than hair's fur. Good luck in your quest.
Mike.
Cress Bug imitation would be my best guess.

There are a lot of no name nymphs out there. It is simple enough that you, or a friend if you don't tie could tie up a bunch in a hurry. I too think it is fox dubbing with guard hairs left in and a copper wire rib . A little chubby. . Crest bugs will often have a material pulled back over the top from rear to front. Is there a reason you need the name...or just want to know what to ask for?
A friend of mine ties something just like that and she calls it, "The Usual" but I don't think it's what most people think of when they think of the pattern with that name. Maybe though.

In my case I trimmed and smoothed the body a bit and darkened the back of the body with a brown prisma-color pen...was also a killer pattern..Why and what it represents are as good a Q as any....!?!?
Wish ya great fishing,Bill
If you can, look in Polly Rosborough's book
"Tying and Fishing the Fuzzy Nymphs".
There are some fox fur patterns in there.
PS: The Skwala hatch is on the Bitterroot,
now if only the weather would cooperate.
We call them "fur bugs". They're sold by the gazillion in the Missouri trout parks. Simple tye, just dubbing in every color imaginable, usually on a #14 wet fly hook. I've caught more trout than I can count on them.
