Pig Nymph - Black

Pig Nymph - Black

Hooks - TMC3761 or DAI1560 or equivalent, sizes 12-16
Thread - Black
Tail - Three dark peccary hairs
Abdomen - Wrapped with dark peccary hair
Thorax - Black ostrich herl
Legs - Black hen hackle tied on as a collar and trimmed off on top and bottom

Doug Prince of Monterey, California, originated this pattern. In view of the fact that peccary is not always available, many fly tiers have found that moose is just as effective.

If I could leash a black fly I'd have me a flying junk yard dog. Evil things, they are; Eee-vil.

I have heard that wearing a Yellow hard hat with a thick application of motor oil can be effective
method to attract and hold'em till you can wash the bodies off. chucklin'.

Sorry about the hijack norm.

How do you prep the Peccary fibers? I like the look.

I like it very much because I have always done better with dark nymphs. I would like to have some of these for the Cache La Poudre because I think this fly would be a killer.
