Used some quiet hours for some tying of nymphs for my fishing in the next year.
Materials:
Four olive sculpins # 6 weighted with a tungsten bead in the front and again is the head secured with Bug Bond Lite.
Not many materials are used for this sculpin pattern:
Little sculpins #6 weighted with a tungsten head in the front. The deer hair head is secured with Bug Bond Lite to make it indestructible. I always liked this pattern und and I will always do, because I caught some really nice trouts with it. No matter, if you fish them upstream, in the swing or stripping them in, trouts love ‚em.
It takes a bit to cut the head and it’s always a mess on your tying table, but it’s worth it. At least for me it is. ;-)
Good things are often very simple. Like these small nymphs tied on a short shank hook. The body length without the bead is 5mm. Even this are small nymphs, the hook gap is pretty big, so the hooking quality is still good. You can fish the nymphs very deep and you don’t have to be afraid of loosing them, because if you do so, you can tie some new ones in a short time.
A really good fishing fly. Superb for very „well educated“ fish!

Three Zonker Streamer # 6. A hook, small Fish Skull, mono for ribbing, dubbing, zonker, some marabou and thread. You don’t need more for a good streamer with awesome movement in the water. You can fish it down and dirty where the big fish are and you don’t have to be afraid to loose your precious streamer, because you can tie some new – easy like 1-2-3….almost ;-)
