What were the initial materials used in Egan's Frenchie Nymph? I'm always reading how great a pattern it is I'm going to breakdown and tie a few. The ones I have seen look so damn big, though.

LC,
This is the first video that came out on Lance Egan's pattern. If one wants an additional hot spot in front of the dubbing, use #6 Fl. Hot Orange Datum Glo-Brite (from Hareline).I tie them down to #20 using Tiemco 16/0 Thread. One could also use Semperfli 18/0, Nano Silk for the smaller sizes...
