Several years ago I came across the tying for the Fraser Nymph. I had forgotten all about it intil Vic the baliff at my local water \powdermill in East Sussex recommended the tying for mayfly Nymphs. For the life of me I cannot remember the tying. If any can post the tying I would be extremely grateful. Thanks
Flashfly. Kermit Quote: Time is Fun, When you're having flies!
The following pattern is taken from The Illustrated Dictionary of Trout Flies by John Roberts
Hook: Long shank 10-12 or nymph hook size 10-14 Thread: Fawn Tail: Centre or side fibers from a hen pheasant tail Body: Hen pheasant tail ribbebd with fawn thread Thorax: Fine beige fur Wing-case and legs: Hen pheasant tail fibres. The legs are formed by bending back the tips of the wing case fibres
The Olive Fraser Nymph is as above except for a rib of olive green thread and a thorax of fine olive fur. Dyed olive moleskin is recommended.
