I’ve tied a few nymph’s which we can use in Europe at different places.
I don’t think this is a new nymph, but by this I give you the tying steps of this easy to tie nymph.(only pictures but I think that’s enough)
Make a nice body whith a ribbing
Tie in material for an elytron plus at both sides goose biots and some peacock hearls
Make a thorax whith the peacock hearls, make the elytron, and this is the result:
An easy to tie nymph
From above:
p.s. excuse for my poor English, it’s not my native language…
The material what I,ve used for the “elytron” is a piece of foil what was used for a present of my daughter. And I saved it from the trash-bin. This foil has a oil shining look.
An substitute for this material could be also anti-static foil what is used for computerparts.
Or other foil where a bit of Aluminium(oxide) on is evaporated. e.g. the innerside of an patato-chips bag.
It sounds like a tinsel-like material to me. It has the same shimmer effect as a soap bubble. I’ve seen it used a lot in balloon bouquets to wrap the candy or weight and as decoration when giving a gift in a bag…sticking out of the top of the bag.
