Now, that's a really interesting looking nymph! I need to try this on my PMD hungry little darlings in the back pond! I really like this one Norm! Keep them coming please!

Very cool fly. Mine are opposite. Yellow foam wing case , and a black or brown wire splitting it.

Very productive nymphs.

I like it. PT variations are always great flies. The split wing wire is very cool.

Really nice fly!!
