Nice tying  

Thanks Ian trying to find some classic old patterns sick of fishing modern ones, so if any of you guys have any good or even not so good nymphs or drys please post

Cheers
Michael

Try the Apertiser and the Persuader both classics that still work very well.

Are they lures Ian? Only looking to tie nymphs and drys that's all

the Persuader is a nymph,  I have always tied it as a nymph  another to try is one I got years ago works well on the Wild Browns but takes bows too, bit harder to tye, red floss tail, black wool body, with a silver wire rib, silver bead with a black wound hackle both sides of it  tied on a 12 to 14 short shanked hook. Cant remember the name of it, but it was a nymph it came free years ago with the Troutfisherman mag.

Very nice Welly- would work on any river.
As would my suggestion for you- Prince Nymph.

Mick the killer bug doesnt have a rib,unless im mistaken,lol.
We can call it a killerbug variant,:-)

Your the first person to mention this and it's been on twitter and Facebook to with plenty comments, will settle for a variant mate the rib should make the fly stronger and I like to put a rib in lol
