Well it is winter so that means I need to fill all the empty spots in my box. When on the stream I am fishing a Euro nymphing rig more times than not. I usually run two nymphs, one heavy anchor to get the flies down in the water column quickly and the other fly is a lightly weighted fly (or unweighted fly). My anchor nymph box has a lot missing in it. I decided to start working on some woven nymphs tonight. I did three color combos: brown over tan, brown over yellow, and brown over olive.
Woven Nymph
Hook: Size 8 nymph hook
Thread: Brown 6/0
Top: Brown DMC embroidery thread
Bottom: Tan/Yellow/Olive DMC
Rib: Various wire colors
Collar: Hare's ear plus or squirrel dubbing
Bead: Varies
Weight: Lead or non-lead underbody
Special Thanks go out to the guys who run Fly Guy's Guide Service for posting an awesome tutorial on how to do the shuttle weave that I used for these flies. Also, thanks for Aaron Jasper for taking the time to show me how to do the weave in person.
