Black Stone Nymph

Posted on by Håvard Eide

2013.dryfly.me.black_stone_nymph
Hook: Daiichi 1260 #12
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Black
Tail: Hareline Turkey Biot Black
Body: UTC Vinyl Rib Nymph Clear, black thread underneath
Thorax: Hareline Hare’s Ear Plus Chocolate Brown
Wing Case: Hareline Scud Back 1/8″ Black
Wing: Mallard Flank

The clear Vinyl Rib gives a huge amount of variations when it comes to color for this one: just use different thread underneath and it will take on a diffirent shade. The body is a bit uneaven and could have been a bit thicker and the wing case above the foremost thorax part should have been better, but it will fish!

Hook: Mustad 94840 #12
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Black
Tail: Pheasant Tail, Hare’s Ear Plus Chocolate Brown
Rib: UTC Ultra Wire Small Olive
Wing: Mallard Flank

This is a variant of the Simple Pheasant Tail Nymph from yesterday: only added a bit of Mallard Flank on each side. When it gets wet it will stay next to the body and give a bit more life to it.

Thread: Sheer 14/0 Black
Tail: Pheasant TailHare’s Ear Plus Chocolate Brown
Rib: UTC Ultra Wire Small Olive

A very simple nymph that doesn’t take much material or time to tie up:

  • start with tying in the rib at the end
  • dub the hook until the eye
  • add the pheasant tail forward
  • dub behind the pheasant tail
  • drag the pheasant tail back to the end of the hook
  • wrap the rib forward to the eye
  • tie off

I realized the last time I was in a shallow river that I only had weighted nymphs that went straight to the bottom: tying up this together with some variants on the same theme to not be there again the next time!

No Hackle CDC

Hook: Mustad 94840 #18
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Brown
Tail: Whiting Bronze Brown
Body: Taimen Beaver Dubbing Brown
Wing: 2xCDC

The no-hackle CDC is very easy and with a bit of floatant it sits very nicely in the surface film. I tend to tie these with a white wing (for moving water it does help for visibility), but keep a variety of colors at hand in sizes from #22 up to #14. They are easy to tie, only involves 3 materials and will catch fish!
