I posted another picture of the original nymph that started this thread. It's taken from a different angle and not cropped quite as closely. The stick it's sitting on was maybe 2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter (I didn't measure it, but I'd say it was maybe the diameter of the average spinning reel or a wee bit bigger which puts it about the numbers I just gave).
You can guess the nymph's size relative to the stick's diameter if you want...

This view of the nymph shows the abdomen and wing case really well which might help identify it...
don't know what the ID is, but try using this fly in that river.

Thanks,

Fatman - thanks for the kind words on the pic...I was very happy at how well it came out.
Flyrodde - thanks for the link to LW's Light Frontliner fly. I'll have to whip some up and try them (I'm hoping to get back out there later this summer).
