Can someone give me a recipe for tying a psedocloen nymph? Thanks!
The late great Chauncy K. Lively who wrote for The Pennsylvania Angler & Boater Magazine among other publications had the following pattern for the Pseudocloeon nymph in the 1999 September/October issue:[ul]*Hook - size 20 regular shank
*Thread ? 8/0 olive
*Tails ? Two guard hairs from a waterborne animal
*Ribbing ? 6/0 brown thread
*Dubbing ? Medium olive natural or synthetic fur
*Wing Case ? Strip of prepared polystyrene film (trash bag) 1/16 inch wide
*Throat (legs) ? Grouse or partridge breast feathers[/ul]I never tied this pattern but I usually just use the same nymph I would use for any BWO hatch except in smaller sizes. They are especially effective on the Monocacy or Saucon fished just below the surface.
Bamboozle, thanks for the info. Must know ya’ from the Saucon. Live about a mile away and fish this wonderful creek all year round. Catch up with ya’ some day.

Look for the guy with the smile in his face, I love that creek and fish it often.
