Flymph (generic)
Hook: Tiemco 102Y #15
Thread: Pearsall’s Gossamer silk, black
Hackle: Hen, badger
Rib (optional): Wire, gold
Tail (optional): Feather barbs
Body: Argentinean hare, dyed olive - in split thread

Note 1: This is a GENERIC flymph - provided as a template only. Select your own materials.

Note 2: Pete Hidy pre-made the body material by twisting dubbing material between a loop of silk. I get the same look&feel by inserting dubbing into split silk.

Nice way to start my day, Hans - two for the price of one. :wink:

Interestingly, for all the things I’ve read about flymphs and all the fly tying demos I’ve been to, I don’t recall ever seeing a demo before, live or on video.

Happy to oblige, John :cool:

More seriously - there are no distinct boundaries between the various styles I simply call Wingless Wets:

North Country Spiders
Yorkshire Spiders
Softhackles
Flymphs
etc

Nice fly. Very buggy looking.
