bulltrout Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 aside from the Kaufmann Stone and the Brooks Montana, what are some other "quick" patterns for imitating this larger nymph...i'm branching out into unfamiliar territory here cuz i've only ever needed one of these two patterns but i would like to add a third to my flybox...

bulltrout Posted December 9, 2007 Author Posted December 9, 2007 thanks brent, but i am looking moreso for impressionistic rather than realistic as i only use these nymphs twice a year...something to replace the Brooks stones in my box...5 min. ties preferrably... Quote
bulltrout Posted December 9, 2007 Author Posted December 9, 2007 http://www.flytyingworld.com/PagesR/rv-bsn.htm maybe this...but what to substitute for turkey (i hate having to pre-cement stuff)... Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Dude, thats a 10 minute tie, just change some of the materials for easier use. Biots for the tail, use the ribbing and backing and everything and use rubber legs for legs..10 minutes i bet Quote
bulltrout Posted December 9, 2007 Author Posted December 9, 2007 the link i posted brent...what to sub for turkey?... Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 thin skin or prismatic nymph back I'll look around work tomorrow for other suggestions, but i'd have to say Thin Skin would be the best Quote
bulltrout Posted December 9, 2007 Author Posted December 9, 2007 just tied one up with the no-fray and the wing cases don't have enough of a profile to suggest wing cases...too transparent... Quote
bulltrout Posted December 9, 2007 Author Posted December 9, 2007 i really would like to find a substitute for lacquered or flexamented turkey quills to use on a kaufmann stone... Quote
bulltrout Posted December 9, 2007 Author Posted December 9, 2007 i'm smart...clive would be proud...ELECTRICAL TAPE doubled over and burnt to shape... Quote
bulltrout Posted December 9, 2007 Author Posted December 9, 2007 this is the general idea...i'll crank out a dozen or so tomorrow... and yes i use crazy glue for my stone's heads... Quote
Weedy1 Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Looks yummy! No doubt it will do the job, cool tie. Quote
bloom Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 i'm smart...clive would be proud...ELECTRICAL TAPE doubled over and burnt to shape... Seen people use rubber from a bike inner tube. Quote
Lawrence Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 in the stonefly contest last year I had tied a stone with all electrical tape Quote
bulltrout Posted December 9, 2007 Author Posted December 9, 2007 and here i thought i was being original...guess i'm not smart after all.... Quote
