Tup’s Nymph
James E. Leisenring’s version
Image

Hook - 13,14.
Silk - Primrose yellow.
Hackle - A very small light blue hen hackle, or
A medium dark honey dun hen hackle.
Body - Halved : rear half of primrose buttonhole twist;
thorax or shoulder of yellow and claret seal’s fur mixed
dubbing, spun on primrose yellow silk.
Tail - Two honey dun hackle points.

The above fly was dressed with Pearsalls primrose silk, the buttonhole twist was Seata Reale ticket 30 pale yellow buttonhole silk and the hackle medium honey dun hen.

Ihis was lost in my pc for a couple of years, just found it tonight.
